The sanding mop is pretty cool. Thanks for the info. Finishing is my least favorite part of woodworking and I'm always looking for easier and quicker ways to get it done. What grit should be used for mdf? Too bad the guy who posted on lumberjocks and was making crown on his table saw didn't know about the sanding mop, he could have saved himself a ton of work and a lot of time! rstermer | |||

Hi rstermer I use the 180g on the MDF it only take a pass or two to get it smooth and ready for the paint job... I also have the 220g on a home made shaft,,,for the fine work on hardwood.. here's a snapshot of both of them.. ==========

Hi Bob, Nice job on the molding!  Do you use the sanding mop in a drill press or with a hand drill?

HI Greg Thanks, "mops" both , they work great once the stock is glued up and in place to get the joints just right... ===== Quote:

Hi Bob, Thanks for the tip! I went ahead and ordered two of the 6" mops and one of the mini dremmel ones.  the more I use my router it seems like sanding is the only thing that I spend more time at than cleaning up all the dust and chips..

This is actually a deeper type cove, which I have no idea what size it was to start out, but my guess is it's finished at about 2 1/2" at the widest point. I make my own plans, do my own thing a lot of the time, so I just do the width, depth and whatever that I feel like at the time... quite liberating. In the photo it's sitting on the living room floor, I brought it in from the shop at lunch time, just for you Bob, but it's back out there now. ~Julie~ | ||

I would very much like for this thread to continue and develop more discussion of the Freud Wide Crown Molding bits. The videos and other information says there are 9 possible combinations, but I count 36, but I have no experience with them and am not sure of the aesthetics of the of the unmentioned 27. Does anyone have experience with these bits? I also note that mlcs now has two similar bits.
