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 ranked most highly. That being said, there were a range of other very premium 2 HP Motor Sanders worth showcasing here that barely missed first place.

Next on our list is built by Grizzly which is a very reputable tool manufacturer. Grizzly's Drum Sanders are one of their top products. It was terrific to check out the G1079R. I was very pleased with this tool!

The Grizzly G1079R Drum Sander, at $1460.00 is an especially great Sander for the price. If you not sure about our top selection, I'd look into the Grizzly G1079R next. It's a high quality tool at a great price.

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.
