Default Self Powered vs powered sander

Go to any play it again sports type place - they have roller blade bearings
that they will usually just give you.

Thanks Bill,

I visited www.woodturners.org and got the information.
I will see where I can scrounge bearings and try to make one.
I am eager to try it.

you can certainly buy any of the commercial ones, or you can build your
own - There is an article on how to do this in the new wood turning
magazine (by me), or you can look in the tips section of

www.woodturners.org
and read what I said there. Personally, I can't see any reason to buy

one,
but then again, that's me

I am been using powered sanding with and electric drill.
The disadvantage I have found is that it does not allow me to sand at

an
angle.
The 2" self powered Sorby bowl sander features an adjustable angle

head.
I am just about to order one. I would use it between the headstock

and
the
bottom of the bowl
