When you start sanding, your essentially doubling the amount of friction and more since the sandpaper grit creates its own friction. When your project is rotating on your lathe, its already creating friction without touching it. Included with the sander are full color instructions that help guide you with the correct techniques and proper way to use the sander to achieve the best results possible. This ensures that the sander doesn't over heat or mistakenly mark you wood. One of the keys to properly using these types of sanders, is to keep the tool moving while sanding on a rotating wood lathe. This means you will achieve much better results finishing your project using our Dual Bearing Bowl Sander Our bowls sander has two smooth rotating bearings that produce much less friction than sanders without bearings. Without a bearing, the rotation of the sanding mandrel can get choppy at best when trying to sand while your project is spinning on a lathe. Most handled bowl sanders have maybe one bearing or no bearing at all on the head assembly.
