by moving the portable electric drill not shown which is rotating the sand flap tool 10 the present design uses the abrasive action of sheets of sandpaper but it will be appreciated that much of the work the abrading will be accomplished with the outer portions of the sandpaper and the amount of sanding or polishing will decrease as one moves inwardly from the outer edge of the sandpaper sheet so that there will be little to no use of the sandpaper located well in from the outer edge for this reason u2014 and to obtain additional use from a given amount of sandpaper u2014 it may be desirable to remove the outer edges of the sandpaper after the tool has been used for some time and the grit on the outer edges has become worn and less effective accordingly the user may cut off the outer most ends of the finger like projections at this point and continue to use the shortened pieces of sandpaper with a better supply of abrasive material in some cases it may be desirable to score such sandpaper to facilitate the remove of the leading edge of the sheet and expose an end which has better supply of abrasive of course many modifications and adaptations of the preferred embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings and described above are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention which is defined solely by the claims which follow for example while a cylindrical.
