If you’ve ever sanded resin at home, you’ll know that resin dust can get everywhere.
It gets on your workbench, your tools, your clothes and, before you know it, your entire craft room seems to have a fine layer of dust over everything.
That’s where the new Resiners AirFine Pro comes in.
Designed as part of Resiners’ new AirFine finishing range, the AirFine Pro combines a cordless rotary finishing tool with a dust-control workstation, giving resin artists a more organised way to sand, polish, drill and finish their projects.
But what exactly is the Resiners AirFine Pro, what does it do, and is it something resin crafters actually need?
Let’s take a closer look. Oh and head to the bottom of the blog to see a video of it in action.
What Is the Resiners AirFine Pro?
The Resiners AirFine Pro is a resin finishing system designed to bring several finishing tasks together in one workstation.
Rather than simply being a sander, it combines the AirFine cordless finishing tool with a dedicated dust-control workstation.
The AirFine tool itself can be configured in several ways, including:
- Handheld mode
- Fixed mode
- Flexible shaft mode
The workstation incorporates dust extraction designed to pull resin powder, wood shavings and other fine debris away from your working area and into a removable filter. Resiners says the system includes an additional replaceable HEPA filter and 10 pre-filter papers.
This means you can use it for larger surface finishing as well as smaller, more detailed work.
For resin artists, that makes the AirFine Pro particularly cool because finishing often requires several different techniques.
What Can You Use the AirFine Pro For?
The AirFine Pro isn’t just designed for sanding resin.
According to Resiners, the tool can be used for:
- Sanding
- Grinding
- Drilling
- Cutting
- Carving
- Polishing
- Engraving and detailed finishing
It can also be used on a range of materials including resin, wood, acrylic, plastic, metal, glass and leather.
For a resin crafter, this could make it useful for everything from smoothing rough edges to drilling holes into finished jewellery.
The Three Modes of the AirFine
One of the interesting features of the AirFine system is its different working configurations.
1. Handheld Mode
Handheld mode is designed for quick jobs where you want to hold the tool directly.
This is be useful for:
- Trimming resin edges
- Smoothing small areas
- Removing imperfections
- General finishing
We found it the most straightforward way to use the tool.
2. Fixed Mode
In fixed mode, the tool can be positioned for more stable, two-handed work.
This can be particularly useful when you’re working on a larger resin surface and want more control over the piece you’re finishing.
For example, imagine sanding the edge of a resin coaster.
Instead of trying to hold both the project and the tool at the same time, a fixed setup can give you greater stability. The bottom of the dust collector has strong grips too so you know its not going anywhere while you work.
3. Flexible Shaft Mode
The flexible shaft is aimed more towards detailed work.
It provides a pen-like grip and is designed to make it easier to work around:
- Curves
- Small details
- Narrow areas
- Intricate shapes
- Jewellery
- Figurines
For anyone who makes detailed resin pieces, this could be one of the most useful parts of the system. We loved it for finishing earrings and keyrings.
AirFine Pro’s Dust-Control Workstation
For me, one of the best features of the AirFine Pro is the workstation itself.
Resin sanding creates fine particulate dust, and collecting that dust at the source is much better than allowing it to spread around your workspace.
The AirFine Pro workstation has an integrated suction system designed to pull dust and debris away from the work area.
The collected material is directed towards a removable filter system.
Resiners says the system includes:
- A dust-control suction station
- A removable filter
- An additional replaceable HEPA filter
- 10 pre-filter papers
- A 90-degree fixed holder
This is particularly appealing for resin artists who work indoors or have a dedicated craft room where they don’t want dust settling over everything.
Is the AirFine Pro a Resin Dust Extractor?
Essentially, the AirFine Pro incorporates dust extraction into the finishing workstation.
However, it’s important to understand what this means from a safety perspective.
A dust-control workstation should be considered an additional control measure, not a replacement for good ventilation and appropriate PPE.
When sanding cured resin, you should still take appropriate precautions and follow the safety information supplied by your resin manufacturer.
AirFine Pro Specifications
The AirFine cordless tool has a number of features designed for detailed resin finishing.
According to Resiners, it has:
6 speed settings
The tool operates between 8,000 and 27,000 RPM.
2,000mAh rechargeable battery
The cordless design means you aren’t restricted by a power cable while using the tool.
It charges using USB-C and supports pass-through charging, allowing it to continue operating while plugged in.
LED display
The tool includes a display showing the selected speed and battery information.
Built-in LED light
A front LED helps illuminate the area you’re working on, which can be particularly useful for small or intricate resin pieces.
What Is the Torque Adapter?
Another cool feature is the detachable torque adapter.
The torque adapter increases the maximum torque from 4.41 N·cm to 44.1 N·cm (Resiners Website)
This is designed to provide additional power at lower speeds and is intended for jobs such as using larger 2-inch and 3-inch sanding discs on resin and wood surfaces. Great if your a woodworker or create large items like flower preservation!
That’s potentially useful if you move beyond small resin jewellery and start working on larger projects.
For example:
- Resin trays
- Wooden/resin projects
- Large coasters
- Epoxy surfaces
- Furniture details
AirFine vs AirFine Pro
So what’s the difference between the standard AirFine and the AirFine Pro?
The main difference is the dust-control workstation.
AirFine
The standard AirFine gives you the cordless finishing tool, with configurations including the flexible shaft and torque adapter.
AirFine Pro
The AirFine Pro adds the dust-control workstation, providing a more complete desktop finishing setup.
In simple terms:
AirFine = finishing tool
AirFine Pro = finishing tool + dust-control workstation
Who Is the AirFine Pro For?
The AirFine Pro is likely to be most interesting to resin crafters who regularly finish their projects rather than simply making occasional small pieces.
It could be particularly useful for:
Resin jewellery makers
Drill, sand and polish earrings, pendants and other jewellery pieces.
Resin coaster makers
Smooth edges and remove imperfections after demoulding.
Resin artists
Carry out detailed finishing and polishing work.
Resin businesses
A dedicated finishing station could help create a more consistent workflow when producing multiple pieces.
Wood and resin artists
The torque adapter and multi-material capability make the tool suitable for wood as well as resin.
3D printing enthusiasts
The flexible shaft and finishing capabilities can also be used for finishing 3D printed objects.
Is the Resiners AirFine Pro Worth It?
Whether the AirFine Pro is worth buying will depend on how much finishing work you do.
If you only make the occasional resin coaster or keyring, you may not need a dedicated finishing workstation.
However, if you’re regularly:
- Sanding resin
- Drilling resin
- Polishing resin
- Making jewellery
- Making larger resin pieces
- Working with wood and resin
- Running a resin business
then having multiple finishing tools combined with dust extraction could make your workspace considerably more organised.
The biggest attraction isn’t necessarily that it does something you can’t do with other tools.
It’s that Resiners has brought several finishing functions together into one system.
What I Like About the AirFine Pro
There’s loads of things I love about this new piece of kit.
✔ One finishing system
You can use the tool for sanding, drilling, grinding, polishing and other finishing tasks.
✔ Cordless
The 2,000mAh battery means you’re not constantly working around a power cable.
✔ Flexible shaft
Great for detailed work where precision is more important than brute force.
✔ Torque adapter
Provides additional torque for larger sanding applications.
✔ Dust-control workstation
This is probably the feature that most clearly differentiates the Pro from a conventional rotary tool.
✔ LED lighting
Useful when working on small or detailed pieces.
✔ Multiple speeds
Six speed settings provide more control over different materials and tasks.
Things to Consider Before Buying
There are a few things I’d consider before investing in the AirFine Pro.
Do you actually need a workstation?
If you only sand a couple of resin pieces every month, a basic rotary tool may be sufficient.
The AirFine Pro is more suited to someone who regularly works on resin projects.
Do you have enough workspace?
The Pro is a workstation rather than simply a handheld tool, so you’ll need somewhere to keep it.
Replacement filters
The dust-control system uses replaceable filters, so remember that these are consumables you’ll eventually need to replace.
Your existing tools
If you already have a good rotary tool, sander and dust-extraction setup, consider whether the AirFine Pro would genuinely improve your workflow.
AirFine Pro for Resin Beginners
Despite its range of features, I wouldn’t say that every resin beginner needs an AirFine Pro.
When you’re starting out, your money may be better spent on:
- Good-quality resin
- Silicone moulds
- Pigments
- PPE
- Mixing equipment
- A suitable workspace
- A good set of basic tools
Once you start creating more projects, however, finishing becomes increasingly important.
A piece can look fantastic when it comes out of the mould but still need:
Sanding → drilling → polishing → finishing
That’s where a system such as the AirFine Pro becomes more interesting.
AirFine Pro and Resin Dust Safety
It’s important not to confuse dust extraction with complete respiratory protection.
Sanding cured resin can produce fine dust.
The AirFine Pro’s extraction system is designed to help collect dust at the workstation, but you should still follow appropriate resin-safety practices.
That includes:
- Using appropriate respiratory protection where required
- Wearing eye protection
- Keeping your workspace ventilated
- Following your resin manufacturer’s safety instructions
- Cleaning your workspace appropriately
- Avoiding blowing resin dust around the room
The manufacturer’s filtration claims should also not be interpreted as meaning that respiratory protection or ventilation is unnecessary.
Final Verdict: Resiners AirFine Pro
The new Resiners AirFine Pro is an interesting addition to the resin finishing market.
Rather than being simply another rotary tool, it combines a versatile cordless finishing tool with a dedicated dust-control workstation.
Its six-speed motor, flexible shaft, torque adapter and multiple operating configurations make it suitable for a wide range of finishing tasks, while the integrated extraction system is designed to help control the dust produced during sanding and other work.
For an occasional resin crafter, it may be more equipment than necessary.
For someone who regularly makes resin jewellery, coasters, artwork, wood-and-resin projects or products for sale, however, the idea of having a dedicated finishing station is certainly worth considering.
The biggest selling point for me is the combination of finishing and dust control in one workspace.
If you’re spending more and more time sanding and finishing your resin creations, the AirFine Pro could be a very interesting addition to your resin studio.
