For fine woodworking a mouse sander is best for getting into crevices, but there are ares where the mouse-pad itself is too large to fit. I propose a depth series of protruding pads which adhere to the orbital sander itself at the tip which allow a user to sand incrementally smaller swathes of the
tip, as a kit, while still being able to buy the incredibly inexpensive replacement scraps of sandpaper which fit each increment of said kit.
That is all.

I've been making a couple of models myself recently, I just 3D print whole custom mini-file shapes and glue them to the back of a sandpaper sheet and then scalpel-slice them off when dry. |

What would be nice is a very tiny finger sander, they don't seem to exist. |
