Sander
Sander may refer to several concepts, entities, or individuals across various fields. This article aims to provide an overview of the most notable uses of the term within different contexts, including tools, biology, and personal names.
Tools[edit | edit source]
In the realm of woodworking and metalworking, a sander is a power tool used to smooth surfaces by abrasion with sandpaper. Sanders have a means to attach the sandpaper and a mechanism to move it rapidly contained within a housing with means to hand-hold it or fix it to a workbench. Woodworking sanders are usually powered electrically, and those used in auto-body repair work by compressed air. There are many different types of sanders for different purposes. Multi-purpose power tools and electric drills may have sander attachments.
Woodworking sanders include:
- Belt sander (also known as strip sander), which uses a loop of sandpaper that travels around a pair of drums.
- Orbital sander, a hand-held sander that vibrates in small circles, or "orbits." The sanding disk spinning while moving simultaneously in small ellipses causes the orbital action that it is known for.
- Random orbital sander, a hand-held sander that vibrates in small circles, or "orbits," but also spins the sanding disk.
- Detail sander, a sander that is shaped to allow for sanding of small areas with high precision.
Biology[edit | edit source]
In the field of biology, Sander refers to a genus of fish in the family Percidae, which includes species such as the pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) and the walleye (Sander vitreus). These fish are of significant importance in both commercial fishing and recreational angling, known for their size, fighting ability, and culinary value.
Personal Names[edit | edit source]

- Sander Levin, an American politician.
