Does anyone have a Grizzly GO716 drum sander. Do you think it would work for grinding lams. Thanks, Don

The design appears to be basically similar to the Performax/Jet but with an outside brace added. (Which was badly needed). It should work fine. There have been a number of discussions of drum sanders. One yesterday. You might do a search. Basically, your choices have been the Grizzly Baby Drum, Performax/Jet 10-20 or the Delta. The Griz 0716 is a new entry, but should work well, and at the price is worth a look.

I had good luck with the performax 10-20. I have upgraded to a widebelt and would have a hard time going back.
