  The Versatile Sanding Block: An Essential Tool for Woodworkers Types of Sanding Blocks There are a few different types of sanding blocks that are commonly used by woodworkers. The most basic is the rectangular block, which is simply a piece of wood with surfaces on all sides for adhering sandpaper. Rectangular blocks are inexpensive and get the job done for basic sanding needs. However, they lack ergonomics and precision. Contoured sanding blocks have a curved shape that is designed to fit comfortably in the hand. They allow for more control during sanding. Sponge sanding blocks have an open-cell foam backing that helps sandpaper adhere smoothly without wrinkles. Foam backing is softer on materials being sanded. Specialty sanding blocks have unique shapes tailored for hard-to-reach areas or intricate details. Choosing the Right Grit of Sandpaper The grit of sandpaper used on a block determines the level of abrasiveness and fineness of the sanding marks. Coarser grits like 60-grit...
