This 18" Variable Speed Open-End Drum Sander offers a lot of versatility and a big sanding capacity in a small floor space. Sand stock up to 915mm (36") wide and 127mm (5”) thickness! Unlike other open-end drum sanders, the table moves up and down instead of the head, meaning the drum support is much more rigid during sanding operations, giving you more consistent results. What’s more, the precision control of the electronic variable-speed conveyor and the dual speed sanding drum, make it one of the high value machines in the workshop.
