Subject: woodmaster drum sander - reersing feature question
|
Hi folks,
I'm geting ready to get a woodmaster drum sander (the big 50" model), and
have been trying to figure out if it worth adding the reverse feature. All
it does is reverse the feed belt direction - not the sanding drum. I don't
know how that would effect the sanding action (havng the stock moving inthe
same direction as the sanding drum).....
just wondering if anyone has this (or a similar) model, and if it really
makes a difference. the theory is that it will make multiple passes easier
(flip a switch and feed the stock back through instead of carying it back to
the front of the unit)....
thanks

I am in the market also however nothing that big. I noticed that this
machine uses hook and loop sand paper. I wonder how that "cush" behind the
paper works as far as sanding a knot or high and low spots.
