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 Grizzly Industrial G0775 was really our favorite 2 HP Motor Sanders. With that said, there are a few other fantastic options when it comes down to 2 HP Motor Sanders. We have a breakdown of them here.

Grizzly is another top producer of Sanders. They make the tool next on our list. Grizzly's Drum Sanders are great as well. I was excited to have a go at the model G1079R and I was not let down!

The Grizzly G1079R Drum Sander, at $1460.00 is a particularly excellent Sander for the money. The Grizzly G1079R is truly a solid option. Of you are uncertain about our top choice, I'd suggest you opt for 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.
