Thickness materials precisely Make Duplicate Parts with a Pattern or Template 
Shape complex parts freehand Top of Page Description and Operation The Luthier's Friend ™ Precision Sander consists of a a 10" x 12" laminated base (254mm x305mm) with a micro-adjustable fence and specially made sanding drum. With it, you can thickness andpattern sand wood up to 2-3/4" tall (70mm). Mount it on your drill press, make a few quick adjustments, and you are ready to go. Lock the fence in position and sand a rib to a rough dimension. Remove a few thousandths of an inch by turning the spring loaded micro-adjust knob and running the part through again. When the Robo-Sander™ sanding drum is locked in the full down position, the guide wheel becomes a lower bearing insuring the stability needed for accurate thickness sanding. Dust free operation is achieved with even the smallest shop vac attached to the dust shroud surrounding the drum. In the up position, use the Robo-Sander™ flush trim sander to duplicate parts using 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. Top of Page Overview The Luthier's Friend™ is a one stop sanding station and thickness sander designed to meet the demands of anyone requiring precision.
