At the bench
Sanding a bowl with a folded sheet leaves rings, because the paper meets the wood in one direction. A bowl sander's pad spins as the bowl spins, so the scratches cross and fade. Hold the handle, touch the pad to the work at the edge and move toward the center. Step through the grits from 60 to 320. The long aluminum handle keeps your hand away from the rim.
Check before you buy
- You own a lathe and turn bowls or platters.
- You want the 3 in pad for wide curves.
- You will work through the grits in order.
Limits
Pick another one if
It has no motor. The lathe does the work, so it only sands wood that is turning. On a flat board it does nothing. Our lathe tool set includes a smaller sander with 1 and 2 in pads. Buy this one for the 3 in pad and the larger stock of discs.

What buyers say about the Bowl Sander
4.7 out of 5 from 41 ratings. Reviews word for word, with the critical ones left in.
Good sanding implement
Works as advertised, the bearings roll super smooth and quietly, super easy to change sanding discs, was a real game changer in my wood turning products.
Great tool
Much better than the wooden handle counter part.Very comfortable in the hand.Try it you'll love it.Just get you some better sanding disc going forward.
Save your money, go with a better option
Tip doesn't lock in, so it can slide out, and fall off (and does occasionally). I don't use this anymore... too big of a pain.
Easy to use
Easy to use and good quality. Have only used a few times on small bowls but works great. Would buy again.
