Can I use this tool to sand wood? I need sand small pieces of wood

I think these are geared more for metal and the grits on the sandpaper are pretty rough. Some could be used for course sanding on wood but nothing fine.

If you're asking about the Dremel rotary tool, yes, it can be used to sand wood, but it takes practice to learn to control and can easily gouge wood. There are probably better tools to use for sanding, so Jan is correct. If you're asking about the set of bits, B. Fleming is right. You might be better off looking at individual bits if you really think sanding with a Dremel suits your needs. A lot depends on exactly what you intend to sand.

No. Would not work for sanding wood. This tool is a light weight. I was very disappointed in it.

I used the liquid wood added to saw dust to fill a knot hole in a cedar rail. The knot hole was around a inch in diameter. I would recomend using the WoodEpox last since this product is very easy to shape and finish sand.

No they can be used for woodworking I use this sander in my cabinet shop daily and it does a great job

Hello Marina,Yes the cutting board can be sanded as it is a solid piece of wood. I would probably use a fine grit sand paper like 120, whether you hand sand or use a palm, or orbital sander.

Yes, but for a smooth finish be sure to lightly sand after it drys. I use it to stiffen the fins of the fish I carve and then paint. I wood hardener deeply penetrates the fibers of the wood. Ron

I think this is better suited to sanding corners and areas that are difficult or inaccessible with other power tools. It moves rapidly and may damage veneers.

Not a good tool for both tasks low in power sanding will put to much of a load on it

I haven't tried the tool in this particular application, but I would say Yes, based on my use in other sanding/grinding circumstances.

As a wood worker I would definitely pick an variable speed sander. Advances in random orbital sanders over the past few years have made them the first sander you should consider when buying tools. Random orbital sanders can be set up to sand very quickly or very smoothly, with the added advantage that the random action will leave very few sanding marks on the finish.

It sounds plausible, but I've never had to try it myself. I have recently been restoring and adding to my house - crown moulding/baseboards - that sort of thing. I also refinish furniture. I love this sander for the detail work, corners, etc. I use it on almost everything I do. Good luck with your project.

You could use it to scuff sand a wood floor to over coat it, but if you are trying to remove a finish or sand bare wood you would be better off using a powered floor sander. It is better suited for drywall

The sanding head that I got with mine is pretty big to be honest with you. I tried to sand some wood casing on a door frame that was really close to the cabinets in the kitchen, and when I got to the spot that had the cabinets next to it, I could not get it flat on the wall........the triangle sanding head is pretty big, I would say 2.5 inches on each side and it triangular shaped, so if you have enough room to get that thing where you need, then yes, it would be fine, but if you don't have a lot of wiggle room, you may try to see if Dremel has a sanding attachment that is not as large as the one that comes with it.........it all depends on the room.......also, the unit itself is pretty big considering I have seen some that are smaller.............this one works great for all other applications I have came across however.

I don't see why not. It is basically a water trap. If you are sanding wood floors I would think you would do far better with something like the dust deputy (http://www.amazon.com/Oneida-AXD000004-The-Dust-Deputy/dp/B002GZLCHM/) which is specifically designed for wood dust.

It will depend on what type of wood you are sanding. I have had no problem so far, as I also use a fine grain sheet of paper and finish by hand

It will depend on the dimensions of the piece, the smaller the end the harder to sand but the larger the easier. But the adjustable speed will help in this a lot. Hardwood or softwood won't matter

I'm sure it could be done but would not be very easy to sand in cracks. May be easier to just paint over the wood. Check to make sure you get paint that would adhere to the current finish.

Yes it can be used as a sander however I strongly recommend not to use it that way. A random orbit sander is designed and built to sand wood and other stuff without leaving circular marks.
