That's probably the most common comparison—and it's understandable. But not everything that moves with sandpaper is suited for precision sanding. What really matters is how it moves, and how controllable that motion is.NeoSander uses a true linear back-and-forth motion—not spinning, not wobbling. Combined with a short, adjustable stroke (0.6–1.8mm) and very low runout (<0.05mm concentricity), each contact stays stable and predictable instead of bouncing around.Sure, an electric toothbrush or a DIY setup can technically sand—just like hand sanding can get results. But NeoSander isn't about whether sanding is possible. It's about making fine detail sanding easier to control, more consistent, and far less tiring.

In fine detail sanding, the sanding head only contacts the surface for very brief moments, giving heat very little time to build up. The reciprocating motion is less aggressive than rotary tools, and plastic melting is rare in our testing.

NeoSander also supports wet sanding with waterproof sandpaper, making it easy to further reduce heat when working on sensitive materials like resin prints.

In normal use, NeoSander actually poses less heat risk on plastics than high-speed rotary tools, which maintain constant contact and generate heat far more aggressively.

That's a common issue with many sanding tools—and it comes down to how they're built.

Traditional tools use rotary motors, then rely on gears or eccentric mechanisms to turn rotation into sanding motion. At low speeds, especially when you apply side pressure, that system struggles. RPM fluctuates, tools vibrate, and stalling becomes more likely.

NeoSander works differently. It uses a reciprocating linear motor, driving the sanding motion directly:

• No gears
• No eccentric conversion
• No power being "translated" through extra mechanisms

Because of this, the output stays smooth, stable, and predictable. It doesn't depend on sudden bursts of torque, and it's much less sensitive to load changes.

No need to worry. The sanding heads are made from PC material, with a reinforced structural design for added strength and durability. They're built to withstand everyday use and handling without issues.

Consumables and accessories are continuously available through our official website.

Yes. With appropriate sandpaper, NeoSander can be used on metal, automotive paint, and powder coating.

Its linear reciprocating motion is especially effective for controlled, precision sanding—helping you refine edges, blend surfaces, and make small corrections without digging in or overshooting.

When accuracy matters, NeoSander gives you a level of control that's hard to achieve with conventional rotary tools.

What you’re seeing is from early trial-production units, not the final version. In later iterations, we significantly improved the adhesive strength, greatly reducing peeling.

The sandpaper is designed as a consumable, so we intentionally avoided using the strongest permanent adhesive to make removal and replacement easier. In some conditions (like low temperatures or long storage), a slight edge lift can occur—but it doesn’t affect sanding performance. A quick press restores it.

If you want the sandpaper to stay perfectly flat for extended use, a light pass with a warm hair dryer after applying will help the adhesive bond firmly for longer.

When sanding harder materials, the reciprocating speed—or more precisely, the reciprocating frequency—does not actually change. The motor continues to drive the sanding head back and forth at the same rate.

However, when greater force is applied and friction increases, the system has to work harder to overcome that resistance. As a result, the stroke length of the sanding head is shortened. In other words, the number of strokes per minute remains the same, but the distance traveled in each stroke becomes shorter.

This reduction in stroke length can easily create the visual impression that the tool is slowing down, when in reality it’s the amplitude that changes—not the speed or frequency of the motion.

We offer individual grit kits (#180-#1500) as well as the complete Master Sanding Paper Combo for convenience.

NeoSander uses a built-in battery by design, but you don't need to stop working when the battery runs low—it supports plug-in operation, so you can keep sanding while it's charging.

We prioritized a compact, lightweight, and well-balanced form for precise detail work. It's designed for continuous use when plugged in, so prolonged operation isn't an issue.

Like our previous products, NeoSander uses a built-in battery, and we've seen very few battery-related issues over time.
For reference:
Battery retains ~80% capacity after ~300 charge cycles
Battery retains ~65% capacity after ~500 cycles
Actual lifespan will vary depending on usage and charging habits.

NeoSander comes with a 1-year warranty, so you're covered if anything goes wrong under normal use.
