Try this tool to sand those difficult hard to sand with power tool areas. Unlike sanding drums on a Dremel or die grinder this does not have be used flat on the surface. Since it is tapered it is easy get into and smooth those deep difficult areas that you cannot reach with an angle grinder.

They are called tapered cartridge rolls. There are many places online that sell them in various grits and sizes. The one shown is about 1 by 2 inches.

I got mine at one of those cheap tool shops similar to Harbor Freight and were three for a dollar. The arbor was a cheap import and immediately broke in half. I just cut the head end off a lag bolt, threaded the cartridge roll on the bolt and chucked what used to be the head end in my hand drill. Worked like a charm.
