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.

It's true that the Grizzly Industrial G0775 was the 2 HP Motor Sanders that we graded at the top. Having said that, there were a few other very premium 2 HP Motor Sanders we wanted to showcase here that just barely fell short.

Next up is made by Grizzly which is a very trusted tool supplier. Grizzly's Drum Sanders are no exception. It was terrific to try out the G1079R. I was very happy using this tool!

The Grizzly G1079R Drum Sander, at $1460.00 is a particularly great Sander for the money. The Grizzly G1079R is really a solid alternative. Of you are uncertain about our number one 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.
