I've been making bowls and trays on my CNC router. Pretty happy with the results but even with a perfectly smooth finish, there are tool marks. I still need to sand more than I like. Looking for a small sander to use, especially the inside corners. Here are photos of a couple I did recently. The unfinished one is 11x7". The big one 17x11" - the finish was not dry - that's why it looks glossy. Both made of cherry. walnut inlay. (and yes, I know the cherry dark blotch is really detracting. It didn't show on the surface of the blank and that was my only piece of 12x18x1 cherry. Sigh.)
I have a Bosch ROS with a 5" pad on it and like it a lot. It worked well on the larger inlaid tray but the smaller one is just a bit too small. There doesn't seem to be any RO sanders with a disc smaller than 5". Any suggestions for machines capable of getting into the corners?
