It has a polishing platen and some faster feed speeds that should produce surfaces ready for finish.<span> </span><br/> <br/> I looked at all the other wide belts, and drum sanders in the $1K to $5K price range, considered making a drum sander, and decided that the entry level Grizzly wide belt solved the most problems.<span> </span><br/> <br/> It's going to be awhile before I have anything to report, but I'll keep you posted.<span> </span><br/> <br/> Cheers,<span> </span><br/> <br/> Brian</span></td>

<p>Quite by accident I ran across this WD40 product. It cleans gummy pine resin from my drum sander, and most grime/dirt. It seems to be water-based, so let your machine dry a bit before use. I initially grabbed it because I like their spray bottles with the non spill fill feature. I let it set at least five minutes, rub it a bit with a denture brush, and then wet vacuum the residue off.

<p>Hello Allan,</p>
<p>I've given the idea of building a drum sander a lot of thought. A relatively large drum---say 18" in diameter---turning relatively slowly---say 500 rpm should solve the resin buildup problem. Now that hook and loop attachment of sandpaper to the drum has proven itself, that would solve the problem of how to mount the sandpaper to the drum.</p>

<p>There are a number of videos and instructions for this, but what about converting a small lathe to do drum sanding, without the major investment? You could make the drum as large as you think would be adequate to eliminate the potential for gumming up the sanding surface. The only concern I could see would be the ability to take a few thousands off. Using a 32 tpi screw for the adjustment ramp would let you go a quarter turn at a time for an .008" increment.

<p>In 2006 I drove ten hours from LA to Fort Bragg CA to meet Brian Burns. He introduced me to his double bevel sharpening system among a myriad of other invaluable lessons. It was worth every penny and mile. My chisels and plane irons are always sharp. I am repaid daily. Thanks Brian.</p>
