Embodiments of sanding systems and methods for using and making the same may include providing a sanding system, comprising a body and a core. The body may be defined by at least a plurality of faces including a proximal face and a distal face and further defined by a hole extending lengthwise from the proximal face at least partially through the body toward the distal face. The core may be configured to be disposed at least partially within the hole such that changing an extent to which the core is disposed within the hole changes a density gradient of the sanding system.

A tool for contouring an airfoil comprises a main body that includes a locator portion and an upper portion. The locator portion includes an engagement surface and the engagement surface is sized and configured to engage an airfoil. The upper portion includes an edge slot sized and configured for placement of an edge of the airfoil into the slot. An abrasive material is applied to the sides of the edge slot. The upper portion and the locator portion are together sized and shaped so that when the edge of the airfoil is disposed in the edge slot and the engagement surface of the locator portion is simultaneously pressed against the airfoil, engagement of the abrasive material with the edge of the airfoil is effective to contour the edge of the airfoil to a preselected and desired shape.

Example implementations relate to a non-motorized vacuum sanding tool comprising a base plate having a central hub, and a vacuum attachment member having a first end configured for attachment to a vacuum source and a second end configured to rotate around the central hub. The upper surface of the base plate includes a raised lip extending around the central hub and serving as a handle for the sanding tool.

A deburring tool for removing scuffs, scratches and burrs from golf balls. The tool includes a circular, planar top portion with a rim around the perimeter thereof and a sidewall that is connected to the perimeter that extends therefrom in an outward and flared manner. The sidewall provides a top and a bottom, wherein the top and the bottom provide a circular perimeter. The bottom of the sidewall has a beveled edge adapted to fit the contours and curvatures of a golf ball and can be placed thereon for the removal of scuffs, scratches and burrs therefrom. A loop is connected to the perimeter of the planar top portion through which a chain can be inserted thereto for attachment to a purse, bag and the like. The planar top portion and sidewall form a unitary structure defining an interior volume having an open bottom.

A file for creating a non-planar contour, in particular with a transverse curvature on a workpiece, including a longitudinal axis, at least one file element with an abrasive machining surface and a depth-stop element with a non-abrasive sliding surface, wherein the at least one file element and the depth-stop element are arranged next to one another in a plane orientated perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.

An oblong ceramic sharpener includes an oblong ceramic stick, a mounting head, a handle, and a buffering structure. A support rod extends from the handle and has a threaded section. The buffering structure includes a lower gasket, an oblong flexible sleeve, and an upper gasket. The lower gasket has a first projection. The upper gasket has a second projection. In assembly, the lower gasket and the oblong flexible sleeve are mounted on the support rod. Then, the oblong ceramic stick is mounted on the oblong flexible sleeve and has bottom locked on the first projection. Then, the upper gasket is mounted on the support rod, with the second projection being locked in the top of the oblong ceramic stick. Then, the mounting head is mounted on the upper gasket and has an internal thread screwed onto the threaded section.

A cleaning and drying device utilizing removably attached material that includes a material plate, two material retaining clips, and a handle or hand grip. The two clips are hingedly attached to the plate. When upward pressure is applied, the clips pivot upward from a center point, thereby upwardly-extending an outer edge of each clip. An edge of a material is then inserted between each clip's outer edge and the material plate. When pressure is removed, the two clips are released downward, thereby forcing the material into a channel and trapping the material between clamping member sand the channel, and the clips and the plate. Once the material is secured, the device can be used to clean or dry a surface. After cleaning or drying, the material is removed and a new material is attached. The material can be any fabric/cloth including rags, old clothing, towels or any other material, thereby precluding the requirement to use special pads or other proprietary materials.
