Drum sander

Hi,

I’m looking at buying a drum sander and wanted to hear opinions on anyone who has had experience with these two sanders. Or thoughts on which is better? Which would you buy?

Supermax 25-50
Leda DS-25

Both are about the same price range. I found good reviews on the supermax but can’t seem to find info on the Leda model. But I have read that Leda brings in good machinery.

Thanks,
Danny

I have the powermatic 22/44. its great. newer models have a reciprocating action which reduces belt wear. get that one... all the carbatec knock-offs are rubbish (IMO).

Hi, I have just noticed The machinery warehouse has the DS 25 on sale and thought about going to see one. There seems to be a few of these that are the same but there is also a DS 26 that I’m trying to find out if there are any differences.
I do know many of the machines are the same however the Taiwanese versions do seem to be better finished than the Chinese versions. I would be really keen to see which way your leaning . I personally prefer machines that are supported on both sides of the sanding drum rather than a canter lever design.

Hi Zed can you still buy the power magic in Aust?

I dunno. Mine is JET, not a powermatic or power magic.

I cant imagine why jet/powermatic would not be available in oz....
