Any body know of a small 240v desk sanding machine used for small wooden parts.
Many thanks

Great piece of kit but replacement discs can be expensive. I get mine from Aliexpress as they are cheap with plenty of different grits

You could fasten Velcro fabric to the disc, then buy sanding discs for RO-sanders.

small powered hand tools​

You asked about HAND tools.

The Kaleas mini orchestra of DC powered tools includes a right angle grinder/sander - Micro Mark has (it seems) an exclusive distribution deal for the US - used to sell a chuck that turned this into a right angle drill or whatever accessory tool that has a small enough shaft.

Many members of the orchestra are (in my view) specious in their functions - i.e. look useful - but will probably be a tool looking for a job - or not as able as what they copy. The belt sander tends to do its job a bit too well - very aggressive and will instantly throw the belt unless your thumb also holds a piece of scrap wood overlapping it track to keep it on task.

I am guessing that the transformer on the east side of the pond is 240 V by default.

I had a friend who decided to take up woodworking; full sized furniture. Like most guys, I wanted to see his shop. When I did it was as neat as a pin and equipped with the latest and greatest power tools, but, NO hand tools. Later, examining things that he built, although precisely built, with tight joints, and nice finishes they lacked something, the human touch.

Power tools have their place. At the top end, a Byrnes saw, or a Sherline lathe/mill are worthy additions to a model shop and a full sized bandsaw or table saw means that we can mill rough cut lumber into model sized pieces. A power drill capable of handling tiny drill bits is useful too. On the other hand, I consider these hand held sanding tools to be way too aggressive.

Master Model builder and restorer Rob Napier writes about identifying the various “hands” that worked on a model that he is restoring. Hopefully we won’t reach a point where the hands are just Dremel’s Proxxon’s, or MicroMark’s.

I suspect if the builders of the contemporary models we all admire, had had access to Dremel’s, Proxxon’s, or MicroMark’s, they would have used them..

כבר תקופה שאני עובד על דגמי עץ קטנים בבית, ותמיד השיוף של החלקים הזעירים היה החלק הכי מורכב ומעייף. לקח לי זמן להבין שכלי עבודה חשמלי קטן ושולחני יכול לחסוך המון זמן ולהביא לתוצאות בהרבה יותר מדויקות. אגב, כשאני מחפש רעיונות נוספים לשדרוג הזמן החופשי, פתרונות נוחים או עדכונים זמינים באזור, אני נעזר במידע המופיע בפורטל נערות ליווי בהוד השרון כדי להתעדכן במה שחדש. הטיפ לגבי הדבקת סקוטש על הדיסק כדי להוזיל את ניירות השיוף פשוט מעולה, ללא ספק אשתמש בזה בפרויקט הבא!

I’ve slowly built up a small collection of powered tools and here’s what actually gets used regularly in my shipyard:

Proxxon FBS 115/E (or the newer equivalent) – my daily driver for most detail work. Lighter and smoother than a full-size Dremel, and the speed control is excellent for delicate jobs.
Small Proxxon disc sander – absolute game-changer for fairing and shaping. Far more controllable than trying to sand with a rotary tool.
Mini drill press (the cheap AliExpress / Micro-Mark style ones) – once you have one you’ll wonder how you ever drilled bulkheads and decks by hand.
Foredom flex-shaft for heavier carving and when I need more torque than the Proxxon can give.

I still do a lot with hand tools (especially for planking and fine fitting), but the powered ones save a huge amount of time on repetitive tasks and keep the results more consistent.

I have written a few times of a very inexpensive small power hand tool, a nail drill. You can pick one up for less than $12 they work off the "brick" you use for your phone or a slightly more expensive rechargeable. Not as much torque as a Dremel but much more compact, fits in your hand. Great for sanding char and shaping soft wood. The shank is 3/8" not the same as a Dremel, they can not accept dremel bits. You can however find Arromax drill bits and burrs that fit this. It is my go to power tool. I have it on my bench with the Dremel put away for when I need more power such as cutting metal.

Tools such as cordless drills, electric screwdrivers, compact sanders, and rotary tools make everyday tasks faster and more efficient while reducing physical effort.
