Abstract
A contour sander for sanding a curved surface includes a hard backing plate having a support face for supporting a sheet of sandpaper. The backing plate is uniformly flexible along substantially its entire length for conforming generally to the curvature of the surface. A pliable handle extends along the length of the plate and follows flexure of the plate when a sanding pressure is applied against the handle.
