disc sander

Spinning abrasive wheel

A disc sander is a power tool with a circular abrasive surface that spins to smooth wood, metal, or other materials.

The sanding disc mounts flat on a rotating plate, and you press the workpiece against it.

Disc sanders excel at shaping edges and removing material quickly: I cleaned up the rough cuts on the disc sander.
