Drum Sanders are powerful sanding machines designed for smoothing, levelling, and finishing large surfaces with speed and precision. They feature a rotating drum wrapped with abrasive paper, which sands the workpiece evenly as it passes through or moves beneath the drum. Available in both benchtop and floor-standing models, drum sanders are essential for woodworking shops, flooring contractors, and serious DIY users who need consistent, high-quality results.
