2 inch Diameter Bowl Sander with Dual Bearing Head and 2 inch Foam Hook and Loop Sander with 1/4 inch Mandrel and 9 inch Long Hardwood Handle

Perfect for inside large bowls, I usually turn Black Walnut live edge bowls, keeping the edge is always a challenge, but with this sanding wand it is much easier without losing the edge. Great product!

This is one of the easiest and best ideas for finishing the insides of my bowl turns. I highly suggest this tool for anybody looking for quality and at a great price.

I was shocked to discover this has NO BEARINGS inside for the shaft to spin in. That means it is just metal against metal. It works ok if you keep it lubed but this was a corner which should not have been cut.

It sands just fine

I like it is save the hands

Bought this for its purpose. Took a little getting used to. Nice that it comes with 4 each of different sandpaper grits. Works pretty well. Saves ones hand from having to go inside bowl. I like it but if the bowl mouth is wide enough I dont bother with it and just hand sand.

Well made.

I had been wanting to get one of these for quite a while. I am glad I found this one at a pretty good price. Simple to use - it takes a little practice to keep it in contact and spinning. Multiple adjustment/position possibilities. It does I great job on bowls and plates. It will really cut your sanding time. I have even used it on a couple of pens and pencils I have turned.

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.

It does work. Good price too! Watch out you don’t burn your fingers when the spinning shaft gets hot!
