Velcro-Backed Power Sanding Mandrel (50mm)
This mandrel is specially designed for woodturners with the 25mm thick pad made of a closed-cell rubber. This is just the right density to enable the pad to follow the contour of both the inside and outside of bowls.
Using a Velcro attachment has definite advantages in terms of time saving as you no longer need to spend time individually gluing on different grits.
The Velcro is a new and improved short Velcro which doesn't breakdown under friction like the conventional loop type.
I recommend power sanding as it is far quicker, heats the work far less and eliminates radial lines left when hand sanding.
This product is also available in a 75mm mandrel and a 100mm mandrel.
