    there is only one pitfall.....too fast for sanding. Don't do it.

    Can't imagine a router spinning anywhere near slow enough for effective sanding, let alone safely.

    Not a great idea IMO.

    There is no drum sander (I know of) designed to run at these speeds. Expect catastrophic failure. The slowest RPM of the Triton for example is 4 times the typical running speeds of a drum sander. At top speed, it is 10 times. Dangerous at best.
