Lee Valley Small Bow Sander

The bow sander offers a simple, effective way to sand curved forms evenly without digging in. It uses standard sanding belts, tensioned firmly between the two ends of a sturdy fiberglass bow. You can bear down on the work, but with no rigid backing the belt flexes easily to conform to curves.

Large knobs at either end give a comfortable two-handed grip, helping prevent hand strain when sanding vigorously. The belt tension is adjustable: tighter for lightly curved surfaces, looser for pronounced contours. No tools are required to change the belt, so you can easily progress from shaping to final smoothing.

Lightweight and maneuverable, it permits a long stroke that lets you sand large areas quickly. Uses range from boatbuilding and instrument making to turning.
