Sanding leather

[Garange]

I've been using a drum sander (Dremel and Cobra Burnisher) for years and thinking about purchasing a bench spindel sander. Wondering if anyone uses one for sanding edges on holsters? Thanks

I use a belt sander for straight edges, a disk sander for convex edges and a spindle sander for concave edges.  They work great!

If you get a bench top spindle sander as well as a bench top belt/disc sander, you are set.  If you don't want leather dust everywhere, be sure to use a shop vac on their dust ports.

Thank you for the reply.

Just tossing ideas and don't know it will plug severely or even work. A variable speed bench grinder slowed way down.  Use a fine diamond tip wheel dresser and a fine grinding wheel. Dress the wheel to the shape you want and give it a spin on some scrap. Otherwise set up a drill press with a recessed hole cut into some scrap for the sanding drum and make a fence for it.
