    Default Twin drum sander

    Hi guys , I'm thinking of purchasing this sander
    Current owner doesn't know what brand it is but thinks maybe old carbatec and is asking $1500 for it. Any thoughts on the machine and whether it is worth the asking price would be much appreciated.
    Cheers Jim

    No , it sold while I was procrastinating. Still keeping an eye out for a second hand unit but not in any rush.

    Just be aware that most of the small twin drum sanders (like the one in the photo above) will require a 15A power point. This was a big factor for me, and why I ultimately got a single drum JET 16/32 which runs off any standard outlet. It doesn't take long to change papers when you get the knack - just run all parts through on one grit, change to the next finest and run all parts through that as well.

    Thanks for the info, I don’t have permanent power to the shed yet but will definitely put in 15 A points

    I did consider a sander like this. depends on what you use it for.

    I endup with a proper wide belt sander. there a bit of infrastructure involved if you dont have it setup already, compress line, 3 phase power and dust extraction.
