Status of drum sander?

[spencervpowell]

Does anyone know if the drum sander is:

1. Operational
2. Has Sand Paper
3. If The Paper Has Any Burn Marks On It?

I’m asking this prior to making the trip to the space to use it and potentially wasting the drive

Thanks in advance

It has been operational today.

If one of the other two conditions exist, feel free to change the roll.

It appears that someone is currently using it.

PLEASE READ! Drum sander operation/information

When I was up there during prior to this I was having to change it out 2-4 times a day due to tears or excessive burn marks. This post is to explain proper usage, tips and tricks, and to address issues I’ve noticed many members having using the Powermatic 22-44.

It is important to take VERY LITTLE off, typically only 0.002"-0.006" [hardwoods I wouldn’t take off more than 0.004"]. But watch the feed logic and keep it under 4 bars [but with the use/abuse the machine sees the indicator might be off as well ]. Just remember to go slow - it is a sander, not a planner.

Anyhow! Powermatic drum sander for sale near lake dallas, 2650. Given the history of issues, wasn’t sure if it was something we’d be interested in.
