EASY-TOUCH BAR SANDER
A flat, durable, easy-to-handle sanding tool is a
necessity for building a well finished model. Great
Planes makes a complete range of Easy-Touch
Bar Sanders (patent pending) and replaceable
Easy-Touch Adhesive-backed Sandpaper. While
building the Spitfire we used two 5-1/2" [140mm]
bar sanders and two 11" [280mm] bar sanders
equipped with 80-grit and 150-grit adhesive-backed
sandpaper. Here is the complete list of Easy-Touch
Bar Sanders and adhesive-backed sandpaper:
5-1/2" [140mm] (GPMR6169)
11" [280mm] (GPMR6170)
22" [560mm] (GPMR6172)
33" [835mm] (GPMR6174)
44" [1118mm] (GPMR6176)
Contour Multi-Sander
11" [280mm] (GPMR6190)
The Easy-Touch Adhesive-Backed Sandpaper is
available in 2" x 12' rolls:
80-grit (GPMR6180)
150-grit (GPMR6183)
220-grit (GPMR6185)
Assortment of 5-1/2" [140mm] strips (GPMR6189)
We also use 320 or 400-grit wet-or-dry sandpaper
for finish sanding.
