GrampaJim Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 I have not seen this before.

dgman Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Look like a sandflee. Just a bit expensive but might pay for itself if you do production work like a few of us do. Why don’t you buy one Jim and let us know how you like it! OzarkSawdust, Dave Monk, OCtoolguy and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmmcrafts Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 You could buy me one and I'll tell you how good it works, Not really, lol I doubt I'd use something like that.. I'd like a drum sander.. but I'm talking about the open end deal so I could sand a whole board that would be wider than my planer..

Woodmaster1 Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 I will keep my 16/32 supermax drum sander it works great. OCtoolguy, John B and Dave Monk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 Looks like a Sand Flea to me3. It's a little pricey, considering you can get an18" open ended one for about $900. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadBob Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 A Sand-Flee clone for sure. But cheaper. Sand-Flee sanders have been out of stock for a long time. OCtoolguy, John B and GrampaJim 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC Scroller Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 For us non metric folks the sanding drum is only 9" wide. Really a big negative in my book. Dave Monk, OCtoolguy and John B 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I collected heaps of stuff including a jogging machine, thinking it would all make a great sander and it probably would have, but when one came on special for about $450, I thought "Bugger it" and dropped the cash.
