The drum must be adjusted after initial set up. I found that it was easy to change the paper with out it. When placing a board in the machine. But light cuts worked fine, no problems. 1/8 turn just to take up the slack before moving the drum.

The fact is that the Grizzly Industrial G0775 was the 2 HP Motor Sanders that we rated the highest. That being said, there are several other really great alternatives when it comes down to 2 HP Motor Sanders. We have a breakdown of them here.

Grizzly is yet another top manufacturer of Sanders. They build the tool that is next on our lineup. Grizzly's Drum Sanders are one of their top offerings. I was excited to try the model G1079R and I was not let down!

This Drum Sander is only $1460.00. That is a great deal for a premium Sander like the G1079R by Grizzly. The Grizzly G1079R is really a solid option. Of you are unsure about our top pick, I would pick this Sander.

3. Powermatic 1791292K Disc & Belt Sander

This means that they did not correctly prep the metal. The disc sander housing was very rough and chipped. But the sander is cheap, so I didn't expect much. While the product was what I expected for the price. You will not go wrong with the Powermatic belt sander.
