DSPIAE ES-A Reciprocating Sander

Why you’re going to want this

• For sanding and smoothing those hard to get to areas of a model
• For sanding around awkward shapes – convex, concave and compound curves
• More control than a rotary sander
• Less risk of gouging than traditional methods
• Efficiently removing detail before fitting Photo-etch parts
• If you struggle with gripping sandpaper, sanding sticks etc.
• More accurately sand-back rivets, panel lines etc.

Why it may not be the right tool for you

• You sand mostly flat surfaces (stick to a sanding block)
• You love the challenge of sanding tiny parts with a massive sanding block
• You hate gadgets
• You don’t want to make your life easier
• You have no need for perfection

Key features that will matter to you

• The weight is just about right and easy to hold in the hand for extended periods
• Approx. 100 minutes run-time (depending on head and pressure applied)
• A range of 8 shapes and sized heads, including right-angle, convex & concave curves, tine ones and larger flat ones.
• 200 Self-adhesive sanding pads (easily cleaned) and hard-wearing.
• Full charge in around 25 minutes
• Failsafe motor cut out
• Charge level indicator
• Customisable lighting (although we have no idea why you would want that – maybe you like to create a disco vibe while sanding?)
