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.
