• said rub collar means having first and second portions means for removably securing said first portion to said base support means for rotation therewith and means for mounting said second portion to said first portion for rotation about said axis relative to said first portion, said sanding means, and said base support means;
• said second portion of said rub collar means having a guide surface extending substantially about and along said axis and spaced outwardly of said axis for a distance less than said first distance said sanding surface extends outwardly of said first axis, said wooden panel having a perimeter with at least one arched portion and a raised surface extending inwardly of and along said arched perimeter portion wherein said raised surface can be sanded by abutting the arched perimeter portion of the wooden panel against said guide surface and moving said arched perimeter portion along said guide surface with said raised surface to be sanded abutting the rotating, abrasive sanding surface of said sanding means.
