Bowl Sanders are specialised sanding tools designed for smoothing and finishing the inside surfaces of wooden bowls, curved workpieces, and other rounded profiles. Available as handheld versions or drill-mounted types, bowl sanders provide flexibility for both traditional woodworking and powered sanding. With rotating sanding pads that conform to curves, they reduce scratches and leave a smooth, even surface ready for finishing.
