Your cart is empty.Most handled bowl sanders have maybe one bearing or no bearing at all on the head assembly. Without a bearing, the rotation of the sanding mandrel can get choppy at best when trying to sand while your project is spinning on a lathe. Our bowls sander has two smooth rotating bearings that produce much less friction than sanders without bearings. This means you will achieve much better results finishing your project using our Dual Bearing Bowl Sander

If you turn wooden bolts on a wood lathe this is a sander you need for the inside of the bowl.

Worked well for awhile, until the foam pad broke off. I can probably fix this with epoxy, and maybe I was applying too much pressure in use, but it seems like a defect nonetheless.

This product is very good in quality. The price is very very fair and includes sandpaper.The hook and loop is very good quality and does not allow the sandpaper to fly off and use.

This is the second of this type of sander that I have purchased. Both work well. The handle fits my hands and is easy to control.The angle adjusts to any degree and once tight, it stays put.No issues with the sanding pad overheating and losing the glue that holds the parts together (the glue on some sanding pads can separate the hook paper from the sanding paper).

This thing works great. It is excellent quality for the money. It feels great in the hand and is well balanced. Makes sanding much quicker and provides a very nice finish with the included disks. Easy to adjust the angle and change out the pads.

First time using this type of sander. It will take some practice to use effectively. The handle could be a little longer, but it's serving my purpose at this time.

After using this sander For several projects I can say it does a better job than trying to hand sand on the lathe. But, the handle for me could be longer for stability and the locknut could secure better. Sands externally well but struggled with deep concave internal coves in bowls. Internal vessels need to be wide enough to accept the depth of the sanding head and bearing housing. If you are not careful it will twist out of your hand if you bump the housing or the thumb adjustment knob on the alternate inside wall. I would have preferred more sanding discs to come with the tool. Shipping was as expected and well packaged.Update: July 2019... It did not take long to exhaust the very small supply of sanding discs that came with the tool. The sanding discs are not very durable. After using some discs I cut up from some hook and loop sanding pads I was much more happier with the tool. The better quality sanding pads made it much easier to get the pad to spin on the surface and it works very well at removing tool marks. A better quality sanding disc now lasts me roughly 2 1/2 bowls (6-12”) per disc. Additionally, I can sand up to finer grits with beautiful results. It did take some time to get used to using the sander correctly. A little patience, better sanding discs, and the occasional drop of machine oil will have you turning out better turnings. I hope this helps...Last update: 14 September 2019, I ordered 2” blue sanding discs from 2sand.com in grits from 120 - 600. These blue discs greatly improved the sanding capabilities of this tool. I know Mirka is also much appreciated in the wood lathe communities, 2sand.com’s blue sanding discs are less expensive. At 25 discs per package versus Mirka’s 10 per grit the 2sand.com package price was much lower than Mirka. I can sand in progression 3-4 hardwood bowls per disc.
