Machine Description

The Model G0716 drum sander features a vari- able speed conveyor belt that feeds the workpiece into the rotating sanding drum. The amount of material removal (depth of cut) is controlled by the elevation handwheel with the aid of the elevation pointer and scale.

For easy mobility, the lifting handles and wheels allow the sander to be moved where needed. The efficient dust collection hood allows the sawdust from the sanding operation to be removed by a dust collector.
