Delta 31-252 drum sander- opinions?

[James Hart]

Found this sander on CL today and am driving a couple of hours north tomorrow to buy it.
It's a special edition of the 31-250 that also includes a shaft extension, 4" pneumatic drum sander with a dust tray.
Looks to be in great shape, owner says it has seen about 10 hours of use.

Anybody with opinions of this machine?

Thanks,

Jim

I sold it to the son in law when I upgraded to a larger unit. As with all drum sanders take light passes, and don't try to use it as a planer.

Son in law likes it too.

I read a few old threads on this sander and it sounds like the infeed/outfeed tables are almost a must.

I've looked all over and am finding them to be discontinued. Any have an idea of a possible source?

Thanks,

Jim
