For sanding rounded contours, radiused corners or irregular shapes, reach for the Rockler Sanding Bow. Its comfortable bow-shaped handle takes the strain off your fingers and makes difficult sanding tasks feel like a walk in the park.

A long stroke length of about a foot makes for fast sanding with less clogging.

  • Ideal for hard-to-sand curves and rounded contours
  • Glass fiber construction with rubber overmold for durability, comfort and grip
  • Hinged 2-piece handle with toothed hinge for setting belt tension
  • Tool-free knobs on both ends of bow for ease of abrasive adjustment/replacement

It helps with this new woodworker
Had planned on making one but this was a much better choice. Have found that cutting some bands ahead in varied grits is nice,may on my next Rockler order may purchase a second one and keep two grits ready to rock and roll.

I think that this is a very good tool to have in the tool box.
I make knife scales for knife blanks. I bought 3 of these sanding bows so I can have a different grit sandpaper on each. I can clamp the scales down and switch back and forth depending on which grit I am wanting to use. I think that they are going to make the sanding time easier and shorter.

Robert D on Nov 27, 2018
This is my second Sanding Bow, having bought my first whilst on holiday in the US. The second Bow will allow me to use 180 grade in one and 320 in the other which will speed up work rather than having to change grades . If anyone is thinking about buying one, don’t think just order, they are a must in any workshop.
