A drill can be used for much more than just drilling holes and removing screws. Simple attachments can add a great deal of versatility to any power drill. A sanding disc can turn a drill into an electric sander (figure A). Set the drill on high speed, and avoid applying too much pressure to the work piece. A sanding drum can be attached to a drill for sanding in curves and other hard-to-reach places (figure B). Set the drill on high speed, and don't apply excessive pressure to the work piece. Flap-wheel sanders are good for paint removal and for sanding irregular surfaces (figure C). Wire wheels can be used for removing rust or paint (figure D). Polishing and buffing wheels are more effective on a drill than they are on their own (figure E). To buff or polish, apply wax to the entire pad of the wheel, and set the drill on medium speed. Attach a mixer to a drill for fast mixing of paint, plaster, putty or mud (figure F). A lawnmower-blade sharpener fits over the tip of the drill to sharpen blades ( figure G). A hose clamp can secure a drill to a table when you're using a grinding or sharpening wheel (figure H). A special drill clamp can turn a hand-drill into a drill press (figure I).
