My little woodworking club is thinking about buying a dual drum sander. We have a 19/38 single drum now and it's constantly needing attention. I like the 25" width of the proposed new sander but I've never owned or operated a dual drum. I get that you can put 120g on the first drum and 220g on the second one, but for most of the hobbyist in the club they make multiple passes in the sander to get all the mill marks out etc. So how does that work when you have a dual drum?
I personally have a 15" wide belt sander but they are finicky with the air requirements, etc. so I'm not recommending that for a bunch of amateurs!
Any advice, comments, thoughts or experience would be appreciated.
