If you are thinking about buying drum sanders then Performax Drum Sanders would be worth your while to check out. Considered the best in their class they are guaranteed to sand within .010" uniform thickness across the width of the sanding drum. The self-cooling drum provides for hours of steady use. An aluminum extruded 5" diameter drum, reinforced with an internal spoke framework, offers greater strength and durability than hollow aluminum or close-ended steel drums. Performax's innovative drum design dissipates heat to prevent drum warpage, stretching of the abrasives, or burning of the wood. You can sand for hours without heat build-up problems.
The Performax Mini Benchtop Drum Sander features a substantial variable feed rate from 0 to 12 feet per minute for all types of sanding including surface, dimension, and fine finish work. Patented abrasive take-up fasteners allow for quick paper changes. A TEFC motor prevents dust infiltration, while a continuous-duty design allows heavier use for longer periods. A precision-flattened, reinforced steel conveyor bed with a no-give power feed conveyor belt offers consistently smooth feeds. The drum height and downward pressure are adjustable to eliminate snipe. The Mini sander also features a self-cooling, machine-balanced, 5-inch by 10-inch extruded aluminum drum with zinc-plated steel tension rollers mounted next to it. An easy-to-use cast iron, height adjustment hand-wheel allows both radical height changes and minute adjustments to 1/16-inch for precise stock removal. A safety power switch with overload protection on the front of the base protects the operator from accidental starts. Operating at 1,700 rpm, the drum also features a sealed ball bearing for permanent lubrication and smoother sanding.
