Abstract
Description
[0001]
[0002] This invention relates to a device for abrading detailed surfaces and surfaces of abradable material, especially, but not limited to, surfaces formed of wood in difficult to reach areas, examples are edges, corners, grooves, and small areas of a flat surface.BACKGROUND
[0003] Sanding a large flat surface is straightforward and many known devices achieve a satisfactory result. Difficulties arise when sanding right up to an edge of an adjacent vertical surface or into a corner with adjacent vertical surfaces on two sides. A good example is sanding a cupboard door where the typically recessed central panel meets with the raised framed sides known as rails and stiles. When faced with these difficult areas, powered sanders, where the sanding abrasive surface oscillates at high speed, bounce out of the corners and off the raised adjacent surfaces, providing a poor abraded finish and often damage the adjacent surfaces. For this reason, much detail sanding is undertaken by hand. T...
