Question 1

Do I need a belt or disc sander?

Accepted Answer

Choosing the right type of sander will help ensure maximum success for all of your projects. But which is right for you? Belt sanders use a loop of abrasive sandpaper to remove excess material quickly and are ideal for flattening and levelling long sections of timber. The electric motor drives a pair of drums onto which the sandpaper is mounted. Belt sanders remove more material, much faster, so don’t leave a good finish on projects, something which should be kept in mind. Disc sanders, on the other hand, are made up of circles of abrasive paper, mounted onto a spinning circular plate. More suited for end grain work, disc sanders remove less material and are useful for shaping woods or mitre work (if your model comes with a mitre slot). Disc sanders are best suited for smaller projects rather than large projects like doors.

Question 2

What is a bobbin sander?

Accepted Answer

Also known as an oscillating spindle sander, a bobbin sander is useful for sanding and smoothing curved or internal surfaces, even with very intricate designs. Bobbin sanders have a flat tabletop-type structure for resting the timber on and a rotating and oscillating sanding drum that stands up through a hole in the tabletop to remove material. This oscillating and rotating sanding drum is covered with an abrasive sleeve (or sanding bobbins) and gives a consistent scratch pattern along the material, resulting in a very smooth finish. For more advice about bobbin sanders and which model is best for you, reach out to our experts at Kendal Tools & Machinery – simply call us or fill in our enquiry form, outlining your requirements, and we’ll get back to you with our recommendations.

Question 3

Is a belt linisher the same as a belt sander?

Accepted Answer

The process of linishing means to polish or remove excess material from (something) by contact with an abrasive moving belt. As such, a belt linisher tends to be very similar to a belt sander in construction, with the main differences being that they remove less material per pass, can also polish, and generally run slightly slower. A belt grinder, on the other hand, tends to run faster and removes more material per pass, making trimming and levelling tasks quicker. If considering a belt sander, check out our range of duo belt and disc sander machines, giving woodworkers the best of both worlds and increasing the value per single machine.

Question 4

Do I need dust extraction during sanding?

Accepted Answer

Whether from short-term or prolonged sanding episodes, wood dust exposure can be very harmful to hobby and professional woodworkers alike. Wood processing causes small particles of wood dust to become airborne and a person’s upper respiratory system can filter out the larger particles. Smaller particles, however, can go deep into the lungs causing damage and scarring to the lung tissue. Each time this happens, a small amount of irreversible damage occurs, reducing the worker’s lungs’ ability to take in oxygen. Over time, can make it increasingly difficult to breathe – making woodworkers four times more likely to develop respiratory conditions, such as asthma, according to the HSE. Pairing your sander with a dust extractor is an essential way to protect your health and can also have surprising additional benefits, including. • Keeping your view unobstructed – clearly seeing what you are doing is much easier, saving what can be costly mistakes and making your job easier. • Helping you work more efficiently – a residue-free sander can run more efficiently, prevents overheating, and keeps it in the best condition. • Less time spent on cleaning up – a win-win for everyone. • Keep customers happy – if working in residential or commercial properties, using a sander with a dust extractor causes much less of an impact on their premises. If you are looking for sanders with in-built dust extraction, Kendal Tools & Machinery can help.
