Title: Drill attachments
Post by: Howzat on October 30, 2009, 11:02:50 AM: Would a power drill sanding drum attachment be appropriate for sanding a cricket bat?
Also are there any decent buffing/polishing attachments for power drills?

You can get a decent hand sander which will do the job well for decent money.

Perhaps a drill and sanding attachment is the incorrect terminology?
