What is a bobbin sander?
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.
