A stick rounding machine is a type of woodworking tool used to round the edges and surfaces of wooden sticks or dowels. The machine typically consists of a motorized spindle or drum that rotates at high speed, and a jig or guide that holds the wooden stick in place as it is fed into the spinning drum.

The spinning drum is covered with abrasive material, such as sandpaper or emery cloth, which smooths and rounds the surface of the wooden stick as it is fed through the machine. The jig or guide can be adjusted to control the amount of rounding and the final diameter of the stick.

Stick rounding machines are commonly used in the production of wooden dowels, handles, furniture parts, and other applications where round, smooth wooden components are required. They allow for efficient and consistent rounding of wooden pieces, which can be a time-consuming task if done manually with hand tools.

These machines come in various sizes and configurations, from small desktop models to larger industrial-grade machines, depending on the size and volume of the wooden sticks being processed.
