Why This Tool Is Worth It
A drum sander takes a lot of the tedious work out of flattening panels, tabletops, and thin stock.
SuperMax’s INTELLISAND technology automatically adjusts conveyor speed based on load. That helps prevent gouging and burning while keeping the finish consistent, even with changing grain.
The drum carriage is bolted to the base, so it won’t drift out of alignment. Adjustable tension rollers help eliminate snipe, and the steel conveyor bed is flat to less than .010" across its width.
