I am also researching sanders for my new / retirement shop. ?I once owned a woodmaster 50¡± drum sander but had little use on it before i sold because of a career move. It was a solid quality machine. ? I am also considering another drum or low end wide belt like the North state / powermatic, another woodmaster drum or Timesaver Speedsander. ?Does anyone have experience with the Timesaver Speedsander.? ?I am considering the 37¡± or 43¡±, so that i can handle table tops if needed. For most things the open end sander or a nice drum sander would cover my needs but feel having that extra width covers the full spectrum.?
