Robert Sorby Sandmaster

£61.60

The Sandmaster is an essential part of every turner’s tool kit.

It comes with 5 different grits of abrasive to take even the roughest projects to a glass-like finish every time.

It avoids an uneven finish often associated with hand sanding and there is no danger of catching hands on the revolving project.

There is little or no surface damage/head build-up, as there is with power sanding and there is no cable to trip over.

Head articulates to access even the most difficult areas.

Sponge head is ideal for working in tight spaces.

Sandmaster creates a fraction of the dust generated by power sanding.

It can be adapted to take a polishing mop.

Description

An extremely handy addition to any turner’s armoury, the Sandmaster is used in conjunction with a lathe to put a fine finish on turned pieces. It eliminates the unsightly lines often associated with traditional hand sanding. As the disc is spinning it also reduces the clogging of the abrasive. The Sandmaster comes complete with a velcro covered 2″ sponge pad which allows for the easy changing of abrasive discs. A variety of grits – from 60 – 400 – of aluminium oxide disc can then be quickly attached. The adjustable head which runs on a durable phospor bronze bushing lets the turner reach even the more inaccessable spots. As an optional extra, a 3″ head and discs can be easily fitted for greater efficiency. The Sandmaster becomes an even more versatile tool when the head is removed and replaced by a pigtail mandrel and goblet or bowl mop. Made of fine grade cotton these mops are an ideal medium for buffing waxes and other finishes.
