I have been trying to figure out which sander would be most useful. I do general case type furniture and some cabinets. Try to do more solid wood than plywood. Don’t do any veneers. A drum sander could do panels and maybe some face frame faces. An edge sander can do edges of doors and face frames. Co7ld also presand some parts before assembly and some draw boxes. I have a rigid spindle and really like the belt feature but it’s really short. I also have a 20” planer so most panel glue ups get planed If you have both which gets used more if you only have one which?
thanks
