Need a Manual for an older Performax 22-44 Drum Sander

[Marty Tippin]

I just bought an older Performax 22-44 drum sander on Craigslist and am looking for a user manual for it.

I don't have the exact model number in front of me, but this is the version that has a single support post, only 3 legs with casters, a 1.5HP Leeson motor and a 2.5" dust collector port on the hood over the drum. I've exhausted my Google-fu and and haven't been able to find any kind of manual (or really, any info at all) about this version of the sander.

If someone should happen to have a manual in digital format, I'd appreciate a PM - or I'd pay copying and mailing costs for a physical copy of a manual if you have that.

Thanks for any help!

I have a 16-32. Would that help?

Thanks, Ted - I have a 16-32 also and this 22-44 is not anything like it... Guess I should post a photo or two, maybe over the weekend.

Thanks, Glenn - I sent an email to their technical staff, hoping for a positive reply.

Marty, Not sure if this is the correct one or not, it appears that it is.

That's what I get for not refreshing before I post. I found the same one as you did Steve.

Nope, mine is a belt-drive with the motor mounted under the table. The table moves up and down and the drum is fixed.

It looks like this (though this isn't a photo of mine)

Success! I guess I got lucky - the guy at SuperMax Tools who got my email inquiry was an employee of the old Performax company and saved a copy of all the manuals. So I now have PDF of the manual that I need.

Thanks again, Glenn, for the pointer - that turned out to be exactly what I needed.

If anyone else needs a copy, drop me a PM and I'll get it to you.

Sorry about that, cleaned out my inbox. Send me a message with your email address and I'll send the files.

Hi Marty,
I am about to purchase the same 22-44 and was excited to read that you had found the manual once upon a time. Would you be able to post the .pdf you received to this thread?
Thank you!

Marty, I cannot direct message you(Newbie), but can you send me a message? I would like a copy of the manual if you still have a copy.
