This Reciprocating Detail Sander Works on Detailed Projects like Gundam Kits, Wood, and Jewelry - Yanko Design

"Cleaning up 3D prints, model kits, or small woodworking projects usually means fighting tools that are not really built for it. Rotary tools dig in and melt plastic, big sanders cannot reach corners, and endless hand-sanding sessions leave your fingers numb. The last 10% of a project, the fine details, often takes 90% of the time because the tools are fighting you instead of helping, turning what should be a satisfying finish work into a slow grind."

"NeoSander is a mini electric reciprocating detail sander built specifically for that last 10%. It is palm-sized, cordless, and powered by a high-speed reciprocating linear motor that drives the sanding head directly at up to 13,000 strokes per minute. Instead of being a shrunken version of a big sander or a repurposed rotary tool, it starts from the question of what fine sanding actually needs: tight, controlled, straight-line motion with minimal vibration and maximum access to awkward spots."

"The usual reciprocating design relies on a spinning motor, gears, rods, and linkages that convert rotation into back-and-forth motion. NeoSander's vertical linear motor pushes the head directly, which means fewer moving parts, less energy lost in the drivetrain, and faster response when you change speed. The stroke length is adjustable from 0.6 to 1.8 mm, so you can dial in tiny, precise taps for delicate edges or longer, faster strokes for leveling and shaping thicker material."

NeoSander is a palm-sized, cordless reciprocating detail sander powered by a high-speed vertical linear motor that drives the sanding head directly at up to 13,000 strokes per minute. The design emphasizes straight-line motion, minimal vibration, and access to awkward spots for fine finishing of 3D prints, model kits, and small woodworking projects. A variable stroke length from 0.6 to 1.8 mm allows precise tiny taps for delicate edges or longer strokes for leveling and shaping. The direct linear drive reduces moving parts, drivetrain losses, and improves speed response when changing settings. The sander targets the final, detail-oriented 10% of finishing work.
