I have only been at this turning for a few months and I am still trying to master sanding my bowls. Ok, I am still trying to master turning bowls but right now I seem to be struggling more with the sanding. I got a Bowl Sander like this as part of the package deal when I bought my Jet Mini used. Anyone with any experience using one of these things got any advice? I did not get any instructions with it.
The first time I used it on my second bowl, I managed to knock my bowl out of the chuck. I was turning green wood and guess I did not retighten as I should have. It bounced off my concrete floor knocking a hole in my bowl.
