Inside sanding, some things I've engineered

I just wanted to share some things I've engineered (not a professional) but I get creative sometimes I'm a little OCD about sanding marks inside and that bottom corner... And I must humbly say the better woodturner you are the less sanding you must do...(I think I sand a lot)... Aloha

I am wondering if these are more for hollow forms than for bowls, or if they are used for both? I do have a Milwaukee right angle attachment that I have been trying to use with a flex shaft powered by a mini lathe. I think it is a bit more heavy duty than the DeWalt. Project Farm did a review on them a while back.

Yeah I use them for both, I mostly use the flappers for removing material(tear out and checks) and the 90 for finishing. the DeWalt is holding up okay for now
 
Like anything around the lathe you got to be careful but it runs pretty smoothly worst problem is when the hook and loop is a little worn discs like to fly off quickly
been there afew times
