Can anyone suggest a brand of drum sander to buy? It would be for cabinet doors mostly.
Thanks Jim

Hi Jim,

I'm working on a small drum type sander which would be good for what you want to do.

You can also go to the www.stockroomsupply.com website to see video demos, etc.

I haven't finished mine... will play with it... and modify, etc. as desired.

I'm working on a better way of controlling the table HT. adjustment.

Hope this helps you.

Hey Joe, where you going with that drum sander

in your hand? Sorry, couldn't resist. But seriously, don't you then have a problem with sanding across the grain of the rails.
If you take the proper time to set up your tooling, the joints should finish just fine with a ROS.

Ed, I thought about that too...

In some of their Demo videos, they used to have a section doing this exact job; doors... After seeing it, it all made sense to me...
Take a look and give us your feedback...

I got the 18" kit... but others, going for doors, would probably go bigger.
