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 glued up with an even adhesive film from the Glue Spreader Roll.
- TVET cabinet-making modules: thicknessing thin parts and veneered board.
- Polytechnic wood technology courses: surface preparation before coating, once heavier stock has been taken off on the Belt Sander.
Take light passes, keep hands away from the drum, wear a dust mask and connect extraction to the dust port.
Standard Scope of Supply
The sander is supplied as a single unit as described above. Sandpaper, a keyless chuck, a fence and double mops are sold separately and can be listed on the quotation. The motor is listed at 115 V, so give your mains voltage when enquiring.

Frequently Asked Questions
How wide a board can it sand?
The sanding width is 9 to 18 in (229 to 457 mm), and the work height is listed as unlimited. Set the drum height with the micro adjustment knob before each pass.
Is sandpaper included?
No. Sandpaper, the keyless chuck, fence and double mops are sold separately; add them to your quotation if needed. Specify the grits your trainees use so the abrasive can be priced with the machine.
How is dust handled?
An integral down-draft system draws dust away through a 2-1/2 in port, which can be connected to a workshop dust collector such as the Universal Dust Collector. Wear a dust mask as well.
