Revolutionize Woodworking with Innovative Bowl Sander Tools

Introduction to Woodturning Sanding Methods

Hi, I’m Ken Rizza with Woodturners Wonders, and today we’re going to talk about all the different ways we have to sand for woodturning. We’ve gone over our abrasive papers in another video, but I thought we would take some time and talk about all the different sanding tools you can use to get the best finish on your woodturning projects.

Turbo Inertia Sander

The first item that I’m going to talk about here is our Turbo Inertia Sander. This is a proprietary product built right here in Georgia. It’s designed with an articulating head so it can be moved in different positions to reach various areas of your woodturning projects.

Features of Turbo Inertia Sander

It features a double sealed bearing in the head and a magnet in the bottom to hold the sanding pad in place. The pad just clicks in there, and it stays put. These are used with our heavy-duty sanding pad holders, the black and white ones in both the two-inch and the three-inch, and they can also be used with our tapered tuffys.

Benefits of Turbo Inertia Sander

The purpose of the articulating head, of course, is to get the correct angle for sanding and even get down inside of a lip of a bowl. The head is also designed to be narrow, allowing it to work on hollow vessels with tight spaces. You can use our one-inch, two-inch, or three-inch pad holders with this sander, making it a versatile option for woodturners.

55-Degree Angle Drill

Our next sanding tool is the 55-Degree Angle Drill. This drill is made specifically for woodturning sanding applications and comes with a one-year warranty. The 55-degree angle of the head allows for easy access to the inside of bowls or other woodturning projects.

Features of 55-Degree Angle Drill

Keep in mind that this is primarily a drill and not a dedicated sander, so it’s essential to blow air through it when you’re done using it to keep sawdust out of the brushes. It is variable speed and reversible, making it versatile for multiple sanding applications. This angle drill can be used with all of our backers, including our Ultimate Sanding Kit.

Three-Inch Pros Random Orbital Sander

Moving on to more specialized sanding tools, we have our three-inch Pros Random Orbital Sander. This air-driven sander requires a minimum of 3 CFMs and 90 PSI to operate. The sander comes with an adapter to be used with our Ultimate Sanding Kit, or you can use standalone sanding pad holders.

Features of Pros Random Orbital Sander

With a 5-millimeter orbit, this sander is quite aggressive and efficient at sanding woodturning projects quickly. We also recommend using a snubber hose with a swivel end, allowing for increased maneuverability and ease of use when working on woodturning projects.

Benefits of Pros Random Orbital Sander

The random orbital sanding motion helps eliminate swirl marks left by drills. By using the angle drill for initial sanding and switching to the random orbital sander for the final steps, you’ll achieve a smooth, swirl-free finish on your woodturning projects.

Pros Mini Random Orbital Sander

For those looking for a more compact sanding option, we offer the Pros Mini Random Orbital Sander. It’s sold as a two-inch sander, but you can use it with larger pad holders to suit your specific needs.

Features of Pros Mini Random Orbital Sander

This small sander fits comfortably in the palm of your hand and is also variable speed. With a three-millimeter orbit, it’s less aggressive than its larger counterpart but provides a finer finish. It works with our roloc pad system and can be used with a snubber hose for added maneuverability.

Conclusion

In summary, we have explored the various sanding tools available for woodturning projects, from the Turbo Inertia Sander and the 55-Degree Angle Drill to random orbital sanders in both standard and mini sizes. Each of these tools provides a unique set of features and benefits to help you achieve the perfect finish on your woodturning creations.
