Grinding machines of transportable type are divided into:
devices of the sharpening type;

An electric jigsaw can also be used as a small portable sanding machine. It is enough to paste the saw blade into a wooden bar, on which the abrasive material should be glued beforehand. This device will be able to help in the sanding process, not only in hard-to-reach places, but also where delicate sanding is needed.
