Drum Sander

Tags: #<Tag:0x00007fa49ea15ac8>

Hi, will anyone with Drum Sander access be in this evening? I was hoping to use it for a couple of chopping boards I have glued up.

I believe that it is out of commission at the moment. The issue is setting the right tension to keep the feed bed from wandering off from centre. I dont know when this issue will be resolved.

Ah, thanks for the update Darren. Do you know whether there is any issue with me running it through the thicknesser? I don’t know whether glued boards are allowed (all grains are still aligned).

Can’t plane end grain but if it’s not end grain then it’s fine

@joeatkin2 was going to look at this, but it does look like the belt is stretched past its adjustment which means we will need to look at a repalcement
