Ryobi WDS1600 Drum Sander

From this thread:

Excellent way to "fine-tune" keeping the sanding drum parallel to the feed bed.

Drum attachment: 1/4-20 bolts into tapped holes in the drum shroud.

All knobs: 1/4-20 studs into tee-nuts.

NOTE: No MDF was used in the construction of this item!

Sorry to dredge up another old post (must be my day for it). I just acquired a "gently used" Ryobi 1600 drum sander from Craigslist. I found other related links while researching it. This one definitely intrigued me but the link is broken. Rod, if you read this, is there a possibility you could repost the pictures of your support attachment?

Thanks,

Russell

And if it gets too much for ya, I'll take that WDS1600 off your hands to save you the trouble :-D...

Has anyone noticed that the zinc plating on Ron's sander has been polished to a mirror-like finish. I have the same sander, my zinc is dull and flat. I feel so inferior.

Dont! It's as delivered. I would have preferred "dull"

Thanks Rod, that's just what I was looking for!

DB, thanks for the kind offer but I've been watching for a drum sander for the past year and finally found this one locally. Granted, all I've managed this weekend was to start it up. I still have to make a home for it.
