I did get the Grizzly and it has been doing well for me with minimal amount of adjusting. We'll see as time goes by. Thanks for your reply, Patrick

Its an off the wall question but I want to sand the bottom of one of my cultured marble urns.(the size of a car battery) I am tired of using an 18" disc and trying to control everything by hand, Would the Grizzly Dual Drum handle this job without ki…

Just an insight from someone that hears both good and bad about drum sanders from the abrasive supply side of it after the sander purchase has been made... Go with a drum sander model that uses a plain backing on the abrasive. We've heard many compl…

Don't know about the grizzly model but last year I bought a Woodmaster drum sander 38" for $2400. A great machine. The big deal is the way a feeder belt tracks, this one is easy & precise to adjust and stays true. They have smaller models. Let us kn…

I am looking at purchasing a Grizzly 24" G1066Z drum sander and was wondering if anyone has or has used this model or any similar. If you have any suggestions on any other in that price range ($1,900.00) would be helpful. Thank you, Patrick.
