Is It Possible To Run A Sander Backwards?

Is it possible to run a sander backwards? The disc is turning in one direction and would not running it in the opposite direction be a little like running a planer backwards?

Deanbo,

This is not an attempt to ‘undo’ a sanding mistake, is it??? ha ha…

For the modern electronic controlled sander, the basic answer is “no” but as with many

things, it is possible… …expect to spend a lot of time/$$$

Once you got the sucker spinning the other way then you will have to deal with the

sanding disc unscrewing and having it riccochet all over the sanding room. Although

I’d pay pretty good money to see that! (not my room of course).

Good Luck,

George

just like the Beatles records, it will spin you out, what happened to whatever, H.
