Experience with SHOP FOX 26" Drum Sander

[Greg Hairston]

Looking for any input about this sander.

Thanks

It's pretty new on the market...not likely to see much on that specific machine, but the Grizzly equivalent, if there is one, might have some owners out there.

I've got the older Grizzley equivalent.
If you like to tinker with equipment all time, go for it.
Otherwise, look into the Woodmaster drum sanders. You'll be better off in the long run.

I agree with Jim. It's real new.
There is no Grizzly equivalent, though it does look like a slightly scaled up version of the 24" they've sold for a while now. But, ShopFox doesn't always track directly with Grizzly, so you never know.

I have the 16/32" open end stand up version of the Shop Fox. Works great. The foot print isn't any different and it gives possabilities of wider boards.

Equivalent. As in two drums. Looks similar. Same paper system. Feed system.
Griz is 24". Shop fox is 26".
