GRIZZLY 12 IN. Drum sander

[roy knapp]

Grizzly is going to be selling a 12 in. bench top drum sander in 2006.

Does anyone have any information about this drum sander (Go459).

I called Grizzly and they new about it but didnot have any information or price and told them that i had read in one of my woodworking magazines that the price was $395.00.

It sounds very interresting and the 12" would be big enough.:)

I'm also VERY interested in this sander, including pics. Do you know if it's close-ended or open?

Vaughn:
Its a closed end drumsander and like the big boys its a belt feed also.
Sorry i dont have a picture to post. Maybe someone else may have one.:)

Wish i could get some information.
