open ended sanders

bshiflet | Posted in General Discussion on

Hey! Fellows,

I am getting ready to buy an open ended (16-32) or (18-36)  drum sander in the range of $1000.00 I have heard a lot of pro’s and con’s on the different brands for keeping them  adjusted. Do you have any feed back on these?

Thanks,

Bill in Indiana

    Bill,

    I have a grizzly 18-36 that I think is way under powered. Only Grizzly tool I have that is finicky.
