Often used in woodworking shops to efficiently level and prep boards for paneling, these sanders create a smooth, even finish on large, flat surfaces. To create this consistent finish, the wide rotating drum and conveyor keep your material in steady contact with the abrasive. The drum is made of aluminum to prevent heat from building up and wearing down the sandpaper or burning your panels. Easy to adjust, all it takes is a turn of the dial to align the drum and conveyor. These sanders have a port to connect to a dust collector or vacuum system to keep your workspace clean and reduce clogs. Sanding sheets are sold separately.

These sanders are open on one end to make room for your workpiece to hang out when you’re sanding a piece that’s wider than the drum length. Maximum workpiece width assumes you’ll flip your workpiece around to take two passes through these sanders.

Sanders with a 19" drum come with a stand. They automatically adjust the conveyor speed based on the weight of your workpiece to prevent burning or gouging the surface. This also helps you create a consistent finish if your workpiece has varying densities. They automatically tension the sanding sheet as you wrap it around the drum and help you make sure the sheet overlaps correctly. A lock holds the drum at the height you’ve set.
