trackman Posted June 24, 2017 Report Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) I picked up a performaxa 16-32 drum sander today for $300. What do you think? Great shape. Edited June 25, 2017 by trackman lawson56 and Lucky2 2 Quote
JOE_M Posted June 25, 2017 Report Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) Do you mean 16/32? That's about what I paid for my used one a few years ago. They're a great help if you have a constant need for extra thin stock. I bought a kit from Grizzly that converted it to hook & loop so I can switch very quickly between 80 grit for quick stock removal, and 120 for final smoothing. Edited June 25, 2017 by JOE_M Quote

NC Scroller Posted June 25, 2017 Report Posted June 25, 2017 Great tool to prepare stock before cutting. I would not recommend sanding delicate fret works after cutting. Just a bit too aggressive for that. Quote

There are 4 boards 8'x16"x1" of cherry. Also walnut, oak, poplar, ash of different sizes. I tried out the drum sander and it works great. The dust collector isn't as load as I though it would be. I do all of my sanding before I cut out a pattern. After cut I will use sanding mop or light hand sanding to get fuzzies. Karl S 1 Quote
Karl S Posted June 25, 2017 Report Posted June 25, 2017 Nice score, I would like to get one for that price Quote
dgman Posted June 25, 2017 Report Posted June 25, 2017 Hey Del, that wood looks pretty crummy. Send it to me and I'll get rid of it for you Quote
Woodmaster1 Posted June 25, 2017 Report Posted June 25, 2017 Nice score on the wood and drum sander. A drum sander is the last thing on my tool wish list. Quote
