A sanding wheel that may be used, e.g., to finish a wood deck, includes one or more risers. Each riser includes an angled face and a cross member, and the angled face and cross member define a slot therebetween. The retaining or fastening clip includes a retaining spring, and the fastening clip is received on the angled face of the riser with the retaining spring extending into the slot. The blade has an abrasive on a first end and an aperture at a second end, the aperture being defined by a shoulder about the aperture. The second end of the blade extends into the slot with the retaining spring of the fastening clip engaging the shoulder. The slot and the retaining spring are configured to mechanically lock the blade to the riser and the base.

The invention relates to a power tool apparatus which is provided to perform an abrasion work operation on a workpiece, said apparatus including at least one spindle which is driven to rotate and a plurality of abrasion components which can be selectively attached to the spindle, said abrasion components provided in different configurations to perform different work operations and selectable by the user with regard to the particular work operation to be performed on a workpiece at that time. The speed of rotation of the spindle is manually or automatically adjustable so as to allow the speed of rotation of the abrasion component to be optimised with regard to the particular work operation to be performed. In one embodiment, the said speed of rotation is one of a range of predetermined speeds which can be manually selected by the user via user actuation means or may be automatically set upon detection of a particular component being fitted to the spindle at an instant of time of use.

The invention relates to a grinding machine for grinding a surface of a workpiece, wherein the grinding machine comprises a plurality of grinding elements (2) and at least one drive device, by means of which the plurality of grinding elements (2) can be set in oscillatory motion, wherein the grinding machine comprises at least two supporting structures (4), on which at least one grinding element (2) is arranged and which can be moved in an oscillatory manner in directions opposite each other by the at least one drive device.

A sanding tool is adapted to be attached to an existing wood board molding machine. The sanding tool provides a rotating sanding drum which removes imperfections from the profile of the molding as it exits the molding machine. The sanding drum is height adjustable and is powered by an electric motor.

A flat sanding structure contains: a body including a first and a second wood planing zones. The second wooding zone has two supporting shelves and two grinding wheels. Two supports are connected with two first fixing pieces and two second fixing pieces, a third holding plate is fixed between the two grinding wheels and the two supporting shelves. Said each first fixing piece has a first through orifice and two elongated orifices, a first connecting shaft has a threaded orifice, a first holder is defined between the two first fixing pieces, and two posts are inserted into the two first fixing pieces and connected with the first holder. The first holder has a tab and an elongated hole. A second connecting shaft is inserted into each second fixing piece, a second holder is defined between the two second fixing pieces, and one of the two supports has a column.

A device has laterally mobile pressure devices on belt sanders in throughfeed, which are brought into position so that workpieces detected by detectors are sanded in a laterally limited area in the longitudinal direction. An arrangement of such pressure arrangements represents, for example, a segmented sanding pad. The method of lateral movement of its segments and the devices created for this purpose enable, among other things, the sanding of frames in the wood grain direction of their individual parts and/or their center panel as well as the application of sanding patterns to workpiece surfaces.
