Guinevere (Kirjes) Sanding System

Sanding with pneumatic (inflatable) drum sanders is the smoothest and most flexible form of sanding (next to hand sanding which isn't so much fun).

If you research the market place you will notice that most pneumatic sanders are quite awkward in their design, often made with big sides and hard edges with a valve poking out of the underside and an oversized drive shaft.

Not so with Guinevere (this is the system previously marketed as Kirjes , this re-branding exercise is to increase the advertising for the product. If you have a Kirjes branded system you will not see any product difference except for packaging. The Guinevere motors are still green, not yellow as shown in some photographs) -The Guinevere (Kirjes) inflatable drum sanders are inflated through an air inlet in the drive shaft. This is a patented solution which has made it possible not only to make superior cylindrical sanders but also to make a rounded sander, the Guinevere bowl Sander.

The inflatable rubber sanders are soft which allows them to be used all the way to the edge of your work. This eliminates scratches and allows you to apply the total width of the sander against your work or to use just the edge. The sander actually becomes flat when pressed against a flat surface and round when pressed against a round surface ie. the sander will conform to the underlying surface.

Guinevere is the most revolutionary sanding system for hobbyist and professional woodworkers. It has particular appeal to woodturners & woodcarvers, to come out in years. Guinevere uses up to 4 inflatable rubber sanders that each have 4 grits of sanding sleeves, from coarse to extra fine, fitted either to a flexible shaft or the quiet 1/2 HP (300 watt) motor. The inflatable sanders are ruggedly built from Swedish steel and heavy rubber.

This system easily eliminates your labourious hand sanding process, saving you countless hours of sanding while putting a beautiful, silky smooth finish on your masterpieces. With the new dust extraction sleeve you can move the dust away at the point of sanding.

We include a leaflet with all the kits & packages that explains the Guinevere/Kirjes sanding process This gives practical proposals of how to use the coarse to extra fine grit sanding sleeves to achieve that velvety wooden surface.

You can buy Guinevere in 2 packages or if you already have the motor and want to pick and chose what you need please look at all the available options listed below the packages.

Guinevere / Kirjes Inflatable Dome Sander - 40 x 40mm Dome Sander Ref: G/K KIR-SW40

The Guinevere Inflatable Sanders are pumped up through an air inlet in the drive shaft located in the bottom of each sander. The air valve design leaves the bottom flat without a clumsy protruding valve on the sanders. This patented solution made it possible to make superior cylindrical drum sanders as well as a unique rounded sander with a dome shape at the business end. This moulded rubber bulb constantly flexes and changes shape, making the sanders soft all the way to the edge.

With the choice of five (5) grits from coarse to extra fine, Guinevere eliminates scratches and allows you to apply the sander's total width against the work piece or to use only the edge in all kinds of complex sanding. The sander actually becomes flat when pressed against a flat surface and round when pressed against a round surface i.e. the sanders conform to the underlying surface. Consequently the sanders should be filled with very little air. The dome sander, needs to be pumped slightly harder than the drum sanders.
