See The 10 Best Detail Sanders on Ezvid Wiki ►►
Fact #1. The first powered mechanical sanding machine was introduced during the Industrial Revolution. The drum sander was patented in the 1880s and made the process of sanding wood easier than ever before. These large table-like devices used drums to rapidly rotate swathes of abrasive paper. They were principally used for making furniture and for finishing lumber.
Fact #2. Throughout the first half of the 20th Century, various sanders were developed and perfected. Ever smaller tools provided adequate power and versatility for a range of uses. By the close of the century, sander technology had reached the levels still enjoyed today. Occasional improvements are still seen, usually in facets such as enhanced speed control and vibration reduction.
Fact #3. Detail sanders were first seen in wide use in the 1990s. They were a welcome addition to the woodworker's tool chest. A good sander can take the place of sandpaper painstakingly used by hand thanks to its ability to get into tight places. They're great for finishing corners or the portion of flooring next to a wall. They're priceless for work preparing or refinishing surfaces such as those of staircases or banisters, window sills and frames, or for wooden moulding.
Fact #4. Many detail sanders are also in fact multitools. They're capable of much more than simply sanding precise areas of wood. Certain models can be affixed with myriad plates, allowing them to serve as grinders or cutting tools. They can be used to cut through tile and grout. They can even slice through metals or hard plastics.
Fact #5. Make sure to frequently change sandpaper when performing sensitive woodworking tasks. The quality of your work is directly effected by the condition of the sandpaper you're using. Sandpaper is cheap and should be considered highly disposable. That piece of wood you're lovingly shaping should, on the other hand, be treated as priceless and timeless.
