what attachment do I use to sand my callouses?

Medicool sells specific bits for doing pedicures or callouses. A diamond bit or emery bit would preferable. Carbide bits are dangerous because the can cut your skin. Just search Amazon for pedicure attachment bits 2/32" shank and pick the one that you think will be best for your situation.

Put a few drops of air tool oil into the actual metal coupler that attaches your air sander to the air hose, its the thing at the bottom of the handle of the air sander. This is also the same spot where the coupler (the thing that attaches the air sander to your air hose) threads onto the air sander (underneath the handle)

the 3/8" sanding one on low speed. i do it every 10 days or so, a super great tool altho they don't like the sound of he motor. they love the close contact, just like a hug. vivian

The rigid oscillating edge belt/ spindle sander is worth checking too I have one and it really is worth every cent on wood I've never used it on metal. Which ever one you choose it's important to get the right sand paper

You should probably sand. Take the extra time to get a result worth having.

The sandpaper back that you need is like a very thin flannel or something a little fuzzy. It doesn't stick to your fingers and it isn't smooth like the Shopsmith sold by Lowes among others. A box of sandpaper I have in the shop says "Grip Disc." Something you didn't ask.....the 6 inch size is not available everywhere. Either Lowes or Home Depot carries it. The other one doesn't. I get mine via mail order.

Never start sander while resting on what you are going to sand, this can cause a lose of control. Hold sander tightly with some downward pressure and guide sander back and forth with the grain. I have three orbital sanders, plus belt and three 1/4 sheet sanders. Makita has done an outstanding job in rough down sanding and then the finish sanding, better than my DeWalt or Porter-Cable. Do not give up, sander will do a good job for you. The great thing about an random/orbital sander is that no matter which way it goes you should not see any sanding lines/swirls, that is if you do not use 80 grit paper. Hope this helped.

No offense, but I look at callouses as part of being a man. That being said, theses grips are smooth and probably wouldn't rough your hands up. Great for grip training. A must have in my opinion.

You can use any one of the attachments to sand the nail, the coarser the faster it will grind down. Be very careful, only grind enough so that the nail in not touching the ground when the dog is walking. I purchased the flex attachment for this same purpose. Works great, saves a lot of time and aggravation.

You probably could, but why bother? The sanding pad has two hold down clamps, one front and one back - so there is no need for adhesive paper. Simply get your favorite flavor (grit and make) in normal size (9x11) sheets, cut into quarters and fit them on the sander. 3M has something called "no-slip grip" that supposedly holds them to the sanding block. Perhaps that is what you are thinking of. FYI - The sander comes with holes in the pad and a full-pad punch, so you can hook it to a vacuum and cut down of the dust. Handy feature. The little dust can on it is pretty useless.

Any sand papper will work . You will just have to punch holes in the papper for the dust collection slots

My callouses were pretty thick. My honest answer is one treatment may not be enough but it will be an amazing difference. Enough for you to work at it with pumice and probably eliminate it. I do plan on a second treatment though for mine.

If you have the auto stick sanding disc that are not adhesive. The hook and loop is what you need. The sanding disc are fluffy on the back and will stick to the pad.

I think you'd be in good shape using the Bosch sander. I use mine for surfaces that are not flat and just love it.

I own three random orbit sanders and two of these, I use the 1'4" sheet sander to sand curves/round overs...I also use it to sand large pieces that I have shot with sand an seal...works great.

Obviously Home Depot and Lowes will carry the bulk of what you will need for your project, but if you have a more non-standard size or grit that you are looking for check out: http://www.aaabrasives.com/. If that still doesn't get you what you need, Google the make & model of your sander and look for its specifications: this will tell you exactly what you need.

If i remember you don't. I think it's a built in safety feature. Try to get the area you want to remove the callus moist and soft with soap. Slide the handel/casing down where the sander part is covered and lightly pass the metal cutting side over the area a few times. Stop and look at the cutting blade. If you see saved skin then you know you are using the device right.
