If you have ever sanded the interior of a turned wooden bowl and have become frustrated with the results, then take a look at the 2" Bowl Sander to help ease your pain. Sanding the interior of a bowl is hard enough when you take it off the lathe. Why not leave it on the lathe, turn your lathe on and use a tool specifically designed to conform to the contours of your turned bowls. With a padded foam, 2" diameter hook and loop head, and a 9" long hardwood handle, you can easily and comfortably get into the curved and contoured interiors of your bowl. To reduce marking or burning of your wood, the head rotates freely in either direction with the rotation of your project. This along with light pressure while sanding, reduces much of the friction and prevents the head from digging into the wood producing exceptional results in comparison to standard sanding. The head assembly is also adjustable to most any angle needed. This provides you with the ability to position the bowls sander exactly as you need it. Not only is the head assembly adjustable, it has a soft foam padded backing on the head. This helps get into contours even better then most standard types of sanders. The Bowl Sander comes with 10 each 100 grit 2" sanding discs. Additional grit discs are sold separately.
- When you need to finish sand the inside of your wood turned bowl it can be a challenge to keep the wood from showing scuff marks. Using a piece of hand held sandpaper can also be somewhat dangerous. Our bowl sander essentially fixes this issue by having a dual bearing, smooth rotating head that spins with the rotation of the bowl while the bowl is rotating on the lathe. The 9 inch long handle also helps keep your hands out of harms way.
- The head assembly is completely adjustable so it can be set to any angle that you need depending on the size and curve of your project. Unlike most other bowl sander head assembly’s, our bowl sander has two steel bearings to provide you with super smooth mandrel rotation while sanding on your lathe. This also helps to reduce the chance of marking your wood since the sander will be rotating without hanging up or catching like so many other brands do.
- It’s all about the pressure, or more like, its all about the light pressure and consistent technique. When sanding with the 2 inch bowl sander, applying too much pressure will likely produce some unsightly results. By applying light pressure and consistently moving the sander, you will achieve the results you are looking for and in a fraction of the time it typically takes when hand sanding your project.
- The head assembly is also capable of accepting other size sanders as long as the mandrel/shank size is 1/4 inch in diameter. Please be aware however that some manufacturers say 1/4 inch in diameter when in actuality the diameter is either smaller or slightly larger. 3 brass bushings of varying depths are included to make fitting sanders with different length mandrels/shanks easy.
- We have included the most common diameter sanding head with the bowl sander. This sander head is made from a foam material that gives just enough to provide you with wonderful looking results each time you sand your projects.
