Thickness drum sanders

Antiquity

Well-known member
I may want to purchase (maybe) a thickness drum sander for making thin boards, 0.032" to 0.500" all ±0.055" in thickness. Grizzly has a 10" wide, 1/4" min. thickness sander. Jet has a 10" open end, 1/32" min. thickness. Both look okay until you read the reviews. Poor customer service, poor tracking and hard to apply a new roll of sandpaper. Does anyone have one of these machines and if so do you have problems with it? Any recommendations? It seems like the days of making good quality machines are yet to come!

Thanks,
Dennis Bork
 
I'm sorry Dennis that I have nothing constructive to offer - my shop is far too small to include such a machine!
