Aside from these machines, you can use sandpaper alone, sandpaper with a sanding block, an orbital sander or a rotary tool such as the Dremel Multi-Tool.

DAVIDUNION

Whether you want to sand down an old piece of furniture or reshape a surface, it’s a good idea to consider the sanding basics.I’m working directly with David Union to see if they will do a factory direct shipment but there are some logistics to work out. When I got back to the USA at the end of last year, I tried to convert the plug unit on my 400 sander which has provisions for a totally adaptable plug head to receive various plugs from Europe and throughout Asia, but I wanted to convert it myself. There is a cardboard template provided which you use to cut up the various sized sanding pads to fit the multiple heads included with the sander. The NG 5/E transformer allows the selection of different speeds for different applications and material. In communicating with them for the proper parts, David Union Group asked me if I would be willing to sell some of their 400 sanders here in the US.

Using Formlabs Finishing Tools

I also have a small dish of water handy where I dip the plastic tip of the -400 into when doing a little wet sanding for the tight areas.

Its adjustable speed linear sanding action makes it easy to deal with surfaces in slots, narrow spaces, recesses or gaps with perfect speed, makes all the works you’re used to more convenient. The durable special DC motor is housed in a glass fibre reinforced polyamide casing and the unit features a sanding stroke with a linear action, not rotational. If you’re going to finish wood with a light stain, you’ll want the surface to be as smooth as possible. Coarse sandpaper removes imperfections faster and with less effort than fine sandpaper – great if you want to shape or level.

The DAVID 400 also lets you work with your creativity in fun, various ways like polishing, cutting, or even engraving.Ideal for working on surfaces in slots, recesses and narrow space, makes all the works you're used to more convenient. You will go through a few sanding pads and it isn’t fun to stop what you’re already sanding to cut up more sanding pads. You can also use a brush, but with a vacuum cleaner you’ll remove all the dust and prevent it from flying around.
