Stanley 21-299 10-Inch Surform Half Round Regular Cut Replacement Blade

Using this on the body of a truck I’m refinishing. Works great. Chizzling away some bondo to smooth it out.

The media could not be loaded.  If you do auto-body and don't follow Lakeside Autobody on Youtube, do yourself a favour and follow him now. He keyed me on to this simple tool. Once you apply your body filler (or bondo glass) you wait till it starts to firm up a bit and then use this. Since it's long and flat, it does a very even job. You use this to pull off the bulk of the excess such that you don't need to sand it all down to dust. Cuts down on auto-body effort by 50% or more. He refers to this as a "cheese grater", and I love it.

Muy practico

We use these to sand our foot casts at Custom Orthopedic Ltd. The round edges are easier to use than the alternative 'flat' versions.

Multipurpose tool. Shaves evenly and removes material easily. I use this blade for carving clay forms. The clay I use is in a state called leather hard (similar to a block of cheese). The surform works perfectly to create curved carvings to my work. I can't get an evenly shaped curve using a flat surform blade, but this half round blade works perfectly.The design of the blade leaves a trail from the "teeth" marks, but I am able to remove then with sandpaper or even a damp sponge. I suspect sandpaper would work well to clean up and refine any carving in wood.t rinses clean with the aid of a brush and a little spray of WD-40 keeps rust away.I don't use a handle as the clay material I am working with is removed without a great deal of force. If I were working with wood or plaster I might consider using a handle. If shorter pieces of blade are needed I have been told ( but not tried myself) the blade can be snapped into shorter segments and any sharp edges broken off with a pliers. Since I am able to work with the full length of the blade I haven't broken my blade into smaller pieces, although they might be more convenient to use.I haven't seen this at any of my local home tool places but Amazon got this to me in just two days with Prime.
