Hi Guys,
I know this has been discussed many times before and I've looked through a lot of threads but I can't find anything that directly relates to the Drum Sanders I am looking at. I'm a hobbiet who is passionate about getting the best tools I can when I purchase them. That being said I would be more comfortable near $2500 but if I would be a lot happier spending more I will, but $3,500 has to be near my max.
I am leaning towards a Supermax 25-50 or a Supermax 25x2 ES.
25-50 Specs-
Open ended capable of up to 50"
Single Drum
1.75 hp motor
4" max depth
Cost- $2,293

25x2 ES-
Closed end sander capable of 25"
Dual Drum
3 hp motor
6" max depth
Cost- $3,439

Some others that I'm kicking around are the Jet 22-44 (both oscillating and non-oscillating models) and the General 15-250M1. Some people also recommend the woodmaster brand as well.
I am interested to hear your opinions on any others models that you would recommend as well.
I appreciate your help.
Matt
