Hmmm... that is pretty cool Joe. How much does it take off in a pass? I have never really payed much attention to drum sanders, reviews or the equipment themselves. Is it to flatten a panel? Will it not work like a planer if a board is bowed, will it still be bowed when it is run thru? Just curious just what a sander like this is really for.

Nice work.

Corey,

It is NOT like a thickness planer... but similar.

It takes off a very small amount per pass, depending the table adjustment and grit on the roller. Paper is held in place via Velcro aka Hook n Loop.

If a bowed board was run across it with the outside edges hitting the roller at the same time, it would tend to flatten that surface of the board... The other surface, I'm not sure about.

A lot depends on your technique in sensing the "feed rate"... a consistent feed rate matched to the sand paper results in a smooth consistent surface.

It's best to take a small amount off per pass... with a somewhat fast feed rate.

Panels, tops, & boards <18" can be sanded smooth with this unit...

They have kits up to 30"... maybe more by now...

Watch their demos... They are good.

Hope this helps.

Really nice Joe so when are you going to send it to me so I can put a proper power switch on it. I'll only have it a couple of days. hehehehe

Very interesting project Joe, but, (isn't there always a BUT with me!), what are the dust collection arrangements? I'm sure that there IS a plan that includes a hood with 4" port.

Now if they would just make an 'inverted' one I could use for refinishing floors --
I could save mucho dinero on clogged belts.
