kardar2 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Just curious how many of you have this? It is a lot of money to drop. I want to start making bowls and think it is a must.I have the flex shaft for my Dremel. But would I be able to use this inflatable ball in my Dremel? Any advise is much appreciated.http://www.woodworkingshop.com/product/kx11340/#.Vjt5bcvTnqA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky2 Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) Karl, the answer to your question is, no you can't use this inflatable ball on your Dremel tool the shaft is to large. I own a couple of round ball sanders, that do a great job of finishing and sanding. I have never come acrossed any inflatable attachments, for the regular Dremel tool.

kywoodmaster Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 If you don't want to drop that much cash here a a couple of alternatives. I have the first one and it does a great job. The second one I have not used. http://www.harborfreight.com/flexible-shaft-grinder-and-carver-40432.html http://www.harborfreight.com/bench-grinder-with-flex-shaft-43533.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Do HF have their own brand? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandaideman Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Karl, have dreamed of that but what I have done is bought the inflatable dome ball with 3-4 varied grit sand paper to go on it years ago. I have been able to chuck in into my bench tope drill press and it does work well. My only problem is that the ball decreases in air a little and the sleeve will come off easier. I just finished doing some little bowls for candy in shape of a holly leaf for Christmas and they do work well. And no the will not fit in the dremel I tried it but no way.

scrollerpete Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) I have made over 25 bowls and you do not require this expansive tool, you can get the ball sander at Lee Valley Tools: http://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=56679&cat=1,42500,42504 I also use this sander http://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=49254&cat=1,42500 and I also have this one which I used to sand the bowls after initial cutting; http://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=45190&cat=1,290,42500,42504,45190 Also I order the small ball sanding tool from King Arthur tool : http://www.katools.com/shop/guinevere-small-round-sander-p-212.html With all these you can make nice bowls that nobody will think that you can do on a scroll saw.
