Edge Linishers & Other Sanders

An edge linisher in woodworking is used to: Smooth and square edges of boards or panels. Refine miters or angles with precision. Remove saw marks or burn marks from edges. Bevel or round over edges with control. Help prepare edges for gluing, joining, or finishing.

Key Characteristics for Wood Use:Fine to medium grit belts (e.g., 80–180 grit) for controlled material removal. Tilting tables or adjustable fences for sanding at various angles. Dust extraction port — very important for wood dust. Long belt surface — great for working with longer boards or panels.

Advantages Over Hand Sanding or Disc Sanders: Much faster and more consistent for edge work. Flat surface ensures squareness. Less chance of rounding over unintentionally, which often happens with handheld tools.
