CAB Blocks
« on: September 03, 2012, 02:57:25 PM »
Looking for info from anyone who uses these. I've seen a few references to tham and found a few online shops that have them. They look like nothing more than a shaped holder for either sandpaper or abralon/siaair pads, right?

Do they work well? Any reason to have more than one?
Thanks

Go to an actual paint store,   I just mentioned the google search for some of the options that come up.

The ones that I've seen are flat.

Kind of what I felt they might be. I've had a Cab Block for years so not looking for myself. A friend of mine is going to get a Vertex Spinner and I saw them on the Vertex site when I was searching for the best price, thus my post in this link.

You need a block that's curved to the circumference of a bowling ball, not one that's flat.  A regular (flat) sanding block is a good way to sand a flat spot on a ball.  -- JohnP

Cab Blocks and the ones Vertex sells are curved to the circumference of a bowling ball. It appears that Innovative's sanding blocks are the same as the ones Vertex has.

Yes, Taxi Contour Abrasion Blocks (C.A.B.'s) are contoured to the shape of the ball hence the name.


When you google search use the keywords Contour Abrasion Blocks, not palm sanding blocks.


A alternative is the http://www.polishyourball.com/  SMart Tools
