Bowl Sander For Woodturning 44‑Piece Set with 2 inch Sanding Discs Hook And Loop (80/120/150/220 grits), 1/4 In Mandrel, Soft & Medium Interface Pads — Dual‑Bearing Head, Hardwood Handle

Decent quality, good supply of sanding disks, just takes some time to get the technique right.. The learning curve isn't hugh but it still is a skill to develop. pretty good results with sanding so far. I'll keep it.

I am new to the wood turning thing. But this is great and seems to hold up well so far.

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.

Very nice and at a good price. Will save me from losing my fingers when sanding deeper vessels.

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).

The bearings provide no functionality. The shaft just spins in the bearing. I've used this on 3 bowls, and the shaft is starting to show wear from rubbing on the bearings rather than having the bearings spin. Sad, Peachtree usually sells good quality products, but this one is going to fail soon. that said, the pad on the mandrel is sufficiently soft, and the handle and its associated adjustable joint are very nice. Sandpaper is so-so. They don't all have the numbers on the back so you have to label them yourself, not a major deal, but not best quality either. Overall ok for an infrequent hobby tool, but not going to last.

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 a wonderful tool, good results, however, I've bought a couple different brands and the heads/bearings continue to wear out. Hopefully THIS tool will last. I do like the idea of a second bearing being supplied. Keeping the lathe RPM down to a slower speed does help...

Très bon

Super Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis. Liegt sehr gut in der Hand. Empfehlung.

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.

the price was right and works just as well as the ones costing much more the head on it is the same.
