Claim:
An apparatus for sanding edges of a pair of panels, with the panels being spaced apart with respective edge surfaces generally parallel, the apparatus comprising: a casing system sized so as to move along a path between the panels and having openings for receiving edge surfaces of panels therein; a first abrasive tool within the casing system, the first abrasive tool inclined with respect to the panels and actuatable in cyclical motion so as to contact a first-face edge of a first panel and a second-face edge of a second panel in the casing system; a second abrasive tool within the casing system and obliquely positioned with respect to the first abrasive band, the abrasive tool being actuatable in cyclical motion so as to contact a second-face edge of the first panel and a first-face edge of the second panel in the casing system; and an actuator to displace the apparatus along the edges of the panels to sand the edges longitudinally.
