Abstract
Presented is a floor sanding device having a relatively large shoe member on the bottom of which is attached a cushioning laryer adapted to receive an elongated strip of abrading material, such as sandpaper, for clamping to the shoe member. A handle is pivoted to the top surface of the shoe member and possesses a length sufficient to enable reciprocation of the floor sanding device by a workman from a standing position.
