This short video is of me sanding a honeycomb acrylic blank using a rotary tool (Similar to a Foredom tool)
I find chasing sanding artifacts annoying. Using the rotary eliminates the need for cross-sanding and leaves a decent finish.
I use hook & loop, 1" discs in 120 - 400 grits. With most acrylic blanks, I don't go higher than 320.
In the video, the blank is turning at 1000rpm, and the tool at 5000rpm. I wish the tool went lower than 5000, but it doesn't. A real Foredom will.
