Grizzly Drum Sander

[quail]

Just curious if anyone has any feedback on the little Grizzly G0716 - 10" Drum Sander?

I don't know anyone who has one but here is a review to read while you wait for an actual owner.

I think you would be happier with the 12" baby drum sander. That's what I have.

I think the reviews are a bit better on the baby drum.....

I have one and I like it. The baby drum is a better machine from what I hear and read, but, if you plan to use your sander for other work such as cabinetry, etc., like I do, then the open end allows you to double the width of your work to about 20 inches.

I have one, it rocks. Doesn't use that crappy, uneven, low rent hook and loop sandpaper that Roy uses in his little baby drum sander.

The 10" is built like a tank, easy to adjust, the paper is inexpensive, comes on a moveable stand and costs less.

It might be fine for your tooth pick bows, beachy boy..

Haha keep it civil!
If it effects your decision any the baby drum Sanders won't be in stock at grizzly until June 9th, pretty sure the 10 inch are readily available from multiple retailers.

That's cause nobody wants the 10"..
