Probably better posted in the general woodworking fourm. What size? I have the supermax 18-36 drum up and down. I haven't many positive things about tBle up/down for this class sander.

IMO stationary table is the way to go, just for the fact that you can use infeed/outfeed tables. If the table moves up/down, you cannot use tables. IF you will never sand something longer than twice your sander bed length, you can go for the moving bed.
I have an old performax 16". Awesome tool for what it's designed for. Just remember it's not a planer.
