Finishing Practicals in the Workshop
In a woodwork class, students sand a board after planing it with a Fore Plane. They wrap the paper round the block, sand along the grain and move from coarse to fine grit. A light pencil scribble across the face shows when the whole surface has been worked.
In a fitting or sheet metal shop, students clean rust off a steel part with Sand Paper Sheets on the block. They wipe the metal clean and brush on a coat of Anti-Rust Paint. Between coats, a light rub with fine paper on the block takes off dust nibs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why use a block instead of sanding by hand?
Fingers press harder in some spots than others, which rounds over edges and leaves dips in a flat face. A block spreads the pressure over its whole face, so flat work stays flat and edges stay sharp.
How is the paper fitted to the block?
Tear a strip of paper a little longer than the block can wrap. Lay the block on it, fold the paper up both sides and hold the ends with your fingers as you sand. Tearing the paper against a steel rule gives a clean edge.
Which grit order should students follow?
Start with a coarse grit only if there are deep marks, then move to medium and finish with fine paper. Each grade should remove the scratches left by the one before. Skipped grades leave deep scratches that show through paint or polish.
Can the cork block be used with wet and dry paper?
Yes. Cork does not soak up water quickly, so it works with waterproof abrasive paper and a little water when rubbing down paint. Rinse the block after use and let it dry before storing it.
Why does grain direction matter when sanding wood?
Sanding across the grain leaves scratches that cut across the wood fibres and show clearly under varnish or stain. Sanding along the grain hides them in the grain lines. On end grain and curved edges, keep the block moving to avoid flat spots.
