Applications and Experiments for the Portable Drum Sander
In training the sander is used to flatten glued panels, bring thin stock to a consistent thickness and remove planer marks before finishing. Trainees learn to set the height in small steps and feed work evenly, a skill used in furniture making, cabinet work and wood technology practicals.
- ITI Carpenter and furniture trades: levelling table tops and panels.
- TVET cabinet-making modules: thicknessing thin parts and veneered board.
- Polytechnic wood technology courses: surface preparation before coating.
Take light passes, keep hands away from the drum, wear a dust mask and connect extraction to the dust port.
