Sandblaster
Machine which wears away a coating, by use of sand, grit or other substance in a high-pressure air stream as it hits the surface. The air pressure and the size and shape or opening of the nozzle help to vary the force or coverage of the stream. Different abrasive materials, in different sizes, can be used depending on the reason for the use, such as whether it is a delicate or sturdy surface.

Sandblasting
A method of scarifying the surface of concrete or masonry to provide a bondable surface. Compressed air is used to propel a stream of wet or dry sand onto the surface.

Sander
Vibrating power device which smoothes a surface, wearing away excess material, by moving sandpaper over it.

Sander, belt
A straight line power sander, which moves a revolving belt with an abrasive coating over the surface of the material in question. Since it works very quickly, it must be kept moving to avoid making grooves and it must be worked in the direction of the grain.

Sander, orbital
Vibrating sander that moves in a circular motion along the surface, which removes sanding marks with a finer sandpaper to create a smooth surface.

Sander, straight line
Vibrating sander that moves in a back and forth motion, in the direction of the grain, at a slower speed than with a belt sander.

Sanding
To smooth or polish with sand, sandpaper or other abrasives.

Sanding a trench
Placing sand evenly, along the bottom of a trench with a loader, to provide a smooth and uniform surface for supporting pipe along the length of the trench, protecting it from damaging materials.

Sanding belt
Sanding belts convert the band saw into a sander that can handle ends, edges and curved workpieces.

Sanding block
Block, hand held and covered with abrasive material, used to sand flat surfaces.
