Detailed Description

Luthier's Friend Sanding Station

The Luthier's Friend Precision Sander is a one stop sanding station and thickness sander designed to meet the demands of anyone requiring precision. Luthiers, woodworkers, model makers, instrument makers, knife makers, bow makers, boat builders, home shop owners, and architectural modelers will all find it useful. You can thickness wood to precisely down to 0.010", make duplicate parts using templates, and shape complex parts freehand. Cobnnect the built-in dust port to your shop vac for clean sanding.

The Luthier's Friend mounts to your drill press table. After a few adjustments, you're ready to go. Lock the fence in position and sand your material to a rough dimension. Then, remove a few thousandths of an inch by turning the spring loaded micro-adjust knob and running the part through again.

The bearing on the bottom of Robo-Sander sanding drum can be used in three different ways.

  • When the Robo-Sander sanding drum is locked in the full down position, the guide wheel becomes a lower bearing, ensuring the stability needed for accurate thickness sanding.
  • In the up position, use the guide bearing to duplicate parts from a template or even an old part as a pattern.
  • Lower the flush trim bearing into the table and you have a very stable sanding drum with which you can quickly freehand complex shapes.

When you are not using the Luthier's Friend, hang it on the wall and use the drill press as you normally would.

Includes
  • 10" x 12" laminated base with a micro-adjustable fence
  • Robo-Sander 2" diameter by 3" long sanding drum
  • 3 sanding sleeves to fit the drum - 1 each of 50 grit, 80 grit and 120 grit.

Maloof-inspired rocker instructor Charles Brock also recommends it as an economical alternative for sanding the rocker laminations before gluing up.

Drill press is not included.
