I've been eyeing a drum sander for a while, but really couldn't justify the money for something I wasn't sure I'd use a lot. But when I got a chance to pick up this lightly-used one for $225, I couldn't say no. Per official gloat rules, here's a photo of it in the shop.
Funny thing is, the morning after I got it I needed to thin down a piece of masonite and this was the perfect tool for that!

Lets see a 16/32 drum sander for $225... Let me be the first to say YOU SUCK!:D
Great find. I have, like you, been looking for a while and to find that sander at that price is an awsome find.

Good job Cliff,
I have a feeling you will use it much more that you think...

Wow, I didn't realize the sandpaper was so expensive. He included 11 new rolls of various grits, near as I can tell that would cost about $100 alone.
I'm starting to feel a little guilty.

You will really enjoy that machine. I picked one up a couple of months ago (but not for that price!!! :( ). I know I have used mine more more than I thought I would.
As far as sandpaper, I bought a roll of 80 grit and roll of 120 grit from Klingspor. You cut your own strips from that. It does save a bunch of money going that route. I would also recommend purchasing the infeed/outfeed tables for it.
Enjoy!:)

With that much suckage, you won't even need a dust collector for it!:eek:

I had always thought I would like one. Then there was a thread on SMC how people were not so hip on the thing any longer.
One went on sale up the road from me for $300. Included the outfeed tables. I passed on it. Now sorry I did.

If I hadn't just gotten one of those DeWalt 735s for $137 I would have something disparaging to say. Instead, I'll just say, "Congratulations!" ;)
