I used to make up a batch of hammer files with 60 or 80 grit belt sander
material glued to a 9" long piece of yard stick.?? I would separate them
by scoring the cloth back with a screwdriver and finish off by rubbing
against a cinder block wall.
These worked well until my sanding belts began to be backed by a lacquer
or wax coating that doesn't take Titebond.
My supply of these is running low and I need to find belts that will
take my glue or a better glue.
Sanding belts hold up better than most other sandpapers.
These are also convenient when you need to take off a bit of wood from a
rubbing key.

Subject: Coarse hammer file
Can you help me replace my most coarse hammer file, which I've lost? It was more coarse than sandpaper, but it was not a woodworking file. It was basically a large, metal emery board, approximately 1.5" X 8". Can't remember where I got it.
