One of my favorite tools is my drum sander in fact the only ones I use more are my saws and planer. More often than not for big glue up's I have to use the drum sander because of it's width capacity. I like the open end feature on my 22-44 and have done table tops up to 36" wide (very carefully). Mine is strictly a hobby shop but a drum sander really made me popular with my other wood working "friends"!
