Why Use a Rubber Block Over Other Materials?

Rubber blocks offer a unique balance of rigidity and flexibility. While a wooden block may be too hard for some surfaces and a foam block too soft, the Norton Expert rubber construction provides enough "give" to follow slight contours while remaining stiff enough to level high spots. This dual nature makes it the go-to choice for precision work where surface flatness is critical.

Instructions for Use

To achieve the best results, start by selecting the appropriate grit of sandpaper for your task. Measure the paper against the block, ensuring you have enough length to tuck into the gripping mechanism on both sides. Tear the paper cleanly, wrap it tightly around the base, and press it into the grips until secure. For optimal tool life, clean the rubber surface occasionally to remove dust build-up.
