Here is a quick review our our new tool from Masterpiece Models.

The Sandbox is a table top sanding box you can attach to any vacuum to create a nearly dust free sanding experience.

The Sandbox can be purchased for $24.95 via our Ebay store:

Chris I believe you are missing a trick here by not selling various grades of sandpaper that has the holes already in place and that are self adhesive, this would also attract repeat sales for the product. I suggest this as I am not sure I would go through all the agro of punching holes in the paper for use and I believe I would not be alone in that.

Thanks for the comment Darren. I will pass the idea on to our design team. The original idea behind it was to allow you to use sand paper you already had on hand or could pick up at your local suppliers.

The other idea behind it was to allow the end user control of the suction by only punching the desired holes. The more holes the less amount of suction.

You have however brought up some good points and we will look into the option of self adhesive pre punched paper.

Hi Chris,

I wasn't interested until Darren brought up the pre-punched self-adhesive sandpaper idea. That got my attention. If you decide to go that route ... I'm in. Cool idea!

PS: If needed, one would still be able to control the suction by adding a constriction at the connector joint.
