   I have a dynabrade and it is worth every penny. Mine is the electric model and it works fine. I'd prefer an air tool, but I like to use it off site where a big air compressor simply isn't available.

   Thanks.....  down deep I know that you get what you pay for, and the other dynabrade stuff I have is really great . ( but I bought it used and avoided the initial "ouch") You must have the Dynafile ll ? I would be looking at the Dynafile lll to get the wider belt possibility. 

   And thanks for the thought Steinmetz, but the only thing that would happen if we stuck these things on a faceplate  is that we would get very nervous and then get to watch a great disaster if we actually hit the switch.... 

   Onward!

   HITAI, I used my Makita to chamfer plate glass, and to round over the corners. I don't think it would do a smooth job on your bowls.   HOWEVER, If you can center and mount the bowls on a faceplate or some kind or motorized spindle, you might try a boring bar sander.    http://www.packardwoodworks.com  It is a hand held device which will sand the insides and outsides of revolving bowls due to its swiveling and revolving rubber pad It uses Velcro sanding discs.

   Other manufacturers have a ball shaped pad as well.

    Off hand, I can only remember the packard tool, although if you check out wood turning sites, you'll find what you want. Stein.
