19-38 Drum Sander vs. Other Brands
The 19-38 Drum Sander was designed with five exclusive features to increase ease-of-use and functionality!
Exceptional SuperMax Features
We’ve addressed issues common with other drum sanders by adding five features that are exclusive to our 19-38 machines. No other drum sander on the market has these features!
- Simple alignment feature Just one nut will adjust the conveyor to parallel the sanding head, making aligning the conveyor to the sanding head fast and easy.
- Indexed alignment setting Has an indexed alignment setting for narrow and wide stock. When sanding stock wider than 19 inch, the index lever will properly adjust the conveyor for flawless wide sanding.
- Easy height adjustments A thrust bearing below the handle and a nut positioned above prevents the drum from moving out of the set position while sanding. No backlash or slop in the height adjustment mechanism allowing easier and smoother height adjustments.
- Extra-wide conveyor to properly support stock over 19 inch wide. The conveyor table is 22 inch wide to add support to the work piece.
- Drum will never go out of alignment The drum carriage is bolted to the base, preventing any movement or alignment issues.
