Optimal Sander

Sandicus Optimus

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.

       //a mouse sander//   

       The mice around here are quite smooth naturally, it must be all the cheese they eat that makes their fur glossy.   

       But taking your idea of a sander shaped like a mouse, the obvious naming for the device is a mouse paw sander. each mouse-foot shaped sanding attachment will reach a different shaped corner. The eyes should light up with red LEDs when in use.

       There's a problem solving approach I try to convey to my students with limited success: when looking for a solution to a tricky problem, find someone who has a similar issue at a much larger scale.   

       In this case, it's the opposite. Who has the most finicky detail sanding to do? Probably model makers. They use things like <link>.   

       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.

       It would get my (+).   

       There are some fun Optimal Sandler movies.

       I like the one where the Sander turned into a small anthropomorphic robot and got into some hilarious japes.

       Um... I think he meant Adam... those extra 'N's are tricky.   

       I was trying to craft a joke where Adam Sandler played, or voiced, a Transformers style movie character like Optimus Prime, only instead of a truck, Optimal Sander was a sander that turned into an anthropomorphic robot. Made sense in my head at least. But I was off my face on caffeine due to the snazzy new bean-to-cup machine at work.
