The drum sander is the first machine that the solid wood hits after the material has been ripped. The material for face frames are run on one side while the door stock is run on both sides to a certain spec. The glue ups for doors, tops, and various other things are also run through the drum sander. The sander was bought new by me in 1983 and was manufactured by Haney Machine Co. in Oregon. That Company is long out of business, they were a victim of the Chinese taking over our machinery industry. This machine gets a least 5 hours of run time every day, and has been in fulltime service for 26 years. The Chinese knockoffs have a 5 year life. Another fine mess our politicians have got us into.

It is amazing how much bang for your buck you can get but refacing Kitchen Cabinets. For the dollar spent you will see one of the best returns possible when you go to sell your home. Most people do not even realize that this is a viable option.

Hi this jimmy Warner thanks for the info Before you choose a drum sander, read all you can including reviews, features, and more to ensure you purchase the one you really need. Drum Sanders have been the stuff of professional shops for years, but only recently have tool manufacturers started to build affordable models that fit the average woodworker’s budget.
