Claim:
A method of manufacturing a sanding element, comprising: (a) overlapping a succession of lamellas ( 3 , 4 ) comprising sanding grains ( 9 ), characterized in that the lamellas ( 3 , 4 ) are alternately formed of sanding lamellas ( 3 ) and compressible lamellas ( 4 ), where the compressible lamellas ( 4 ) comprise non-woven fibres ( 10 ), whereby each sanding lamella ( 3 ) rests on a compressible lamella ( 4 ), and where the lamellas ( 3 , 4 ) are fixed on a substantially round, disc-shaped support ( 2 ); and (b) positioning each lamella ( 3 , 4 ) to be substantially radially angled from the support ( 2 ) exposing a surface of each lamella ( 3 , 4 ) to extend beyond the support ( 2 ), where the exposed surfaces are formed by a short side ( 6 ) and a long side ( 7 ) of each lamella ( 3 , 4 ), and where the exposed surfaces are angled radially form the support.
