I will be buying a drum sander soon. The problem is shipping to Alaska. I'm looking at the Accura 03525d but all I can find is people selling and not much for comments about use. The General 15-150m1 looks good as well. The steel City 55220 has got some good points as well. The performax 649004k is in the running as well. Now for the real question, the Woodmaster 3875 is a bit much for me but is only a few dollars more than the 2675.
I do small work as well as larger stuff. The 25" would do for most of the work but "what if" is killing me. I have doors to build for the shop and grauge cabinets still. I plan on building some furniture in the future and may need it for that as well. Right now it is mostly Knome doors, bird feeders and houses, squirrel houses and the such.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not sold on any sander at this time. I'm looking for the questions I have not ask myself yet. Is the spring clamp issue such a big deal? Is open end or closed end a big deal. I do like the idea of getting more sanding area but do you give up precision. That is always an issue with me. Duh, I own not one but two BT3000.
