Example implementations relate to a sanding tool having an intermediate adapter pad. The sanding tool includes a rigid base plate configured for releasable attachment to a number of sanding handles. The sanding tool also includes an adapter pad that comprises: an upper portion configured to receive the rigid base plate, the upper portion including a perimeter portion that extends above an upper surface of the rigid base plate; and a lower surface configured for releasable attachment to a lower pad, wherein a lower surface of the lower pad is configured for releasable attachment to a working material. The perimeter portion includes a channel configured for releasable attachment to a suction ring, or a bristle ring, or both.

A grinding block suitable for different radians, which relates to a grinding block technique, and comprises a grinding block body, at least one soft shaft set in the grinding block body, connecting grooves set on both sides of the grinding block body and a grinding block set at the bottom of the grinding block body. The soft shaft comprises a soft shaft body and a stable shaft fit at both ends of the stable shaft. A positioner is set at a stable shaft end away from the soft shaft body and several Positioning Ribs I1 are spaced in the soft shaft body. By setting the shaft in the grinding block body and supporting the block body, the stability of the grinding block body after bending and deformation can be ensured.

A transmission apparatus includes a plurality of blades mounted in a juxtaposed relationship in an open rack and including a first blade and a second blade disposed next to the first blade, wherein the second blade includes: a sensor, and a processor coupled to the sensor and configured to: receive first position information indicating a mounting position of the first blade from the first blade, measure a distance between the first blade and the second blade using the sensor, and calculate second position information indicating a mounting position of the second blade based on the first position information and the measured distance.

A cutlery sharpener is disclosed for conditioning a cutlery edge. The cutlery sharpener comprises a sharpening shaft extending between a proximal end and a distal end and defining a sharpening surface for engaging the cutlery edge. A line of symmetry extends through the proximal end and the distal end of the sharpening shaft. A handle extends between a proximal end and a distal end and defining a handle surface for engaging a hand. A non-line of symmetry extends through the proximal end and the distal end of the handle. A couple links the proximal end of the sharpening shaft with the proximal end of the handle. The non-line of symmetry maintains a thumb and a plurality of fingers of the hand in a safe orientation and safe distance from the cutlery edge during displacement of the handle relative to the cutlery edge and engagement between the cutlery edge and the sharpening shaft.
