Pipe Sander?

[mundayr2]

Has anyone tried one of those pipe sanders that attach to an angle grinder? I painted my 4 inch Vindicator with Duplicolor metallic anodized purple, and neglected to sand the silver under coat. Needless to say the purple started to peel just from ground testing and now I need to sand the whole thing down and start over. If this thing works it would be a major time saver but I don't want to purchase the thing if it won't work on Fiberglass tubing. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Mod's, Please move this to the relevant place. Sorry.

Great outside the box thinking, but it would be way too aggressive. You would sand through the body in no time.

That's what I was afraid of. Oh well, Bach to hand sanding for days. Thanks for the advice. Bob

It's like an electric razor... but for sanding!​

Interesting. Are they still in production?

Seems like there is still a manufacturer of this type of tool. Close enough...

Here's also a video on contour sanding.

Not by Craftsman, but there is something very similar.

OMG I think I bought one of those many years ago! It's likely buried in my basement or somewhere in my garage storage.
