Floor Drum Sanders are the real workhorses for hardwood floor sanding. This massive piece of equipment is so heavy that it requires two full grown adults to move it around. The drum sander consists of the sander itself, a large dust bag, and a drum on which you attach large sheets of sanding paper.
Floor drum sanders are used to sand the floors down to the bare wood. The floor drum sander clears off the wax finish on top of the polyurethane even if the finish has worn through or if the floor has been stained or damaged. It would be a good thing to buy sanding paper at the tool rental yard itself as you may not find it your local Home Depot or hardware store. The rental yard employees will recommend at least three gradations of coarse, medium, and fine sanding paper. Be sure to buy extra sanding paper, as most rental yards do buy back unused paper. But you may need to confirm this first with them.
The floor drum sander cleans off the bad spots, the high spots, stains, paint splotches in fact everything from the floor. It truly takes the floor down to bare wood. Unfortunately, if you're not careful, you can carve unsightly, permanent grooves in the wood. It's easy to strip off a quarter inch of wood without even noticing it. So the job requires careful concentration all the time.
