  • 1.  Sandpaper for shaping hammer

    Posted 2 hours ago
    I am looking for the best sandpaper for shaping hammers.
    A while ago there was a post that someone had listed a special type of paper that had a better cut. I hadn't heard of it. You don't see it in most hardware stores. 
    I looked on the archives but couldn't find the post

    Hi Keith,

    Could you be referring to "micro finishing film," introduced to our profession, if memory serves, by Jurgen Goering?

    No, I Wasn't referring to the film. 
    Some hammers are hard and I need something that cuts for the initial shaping. 
    It was taking forever to get the string groove out and round the tip.
    Thanks
