Drum Sander Storage Cabinet

Nice score and very nice storage! Enjoy….

Nicely done—particularly like the drawers on the Jet since I’m sure those sanders can kick up a lot of dust. Are they working out as good as they look like they would? I’m designing a cabinet for use under a scroll saw, and have been thinking that the empty space under some machines would be a great place to store accessories, so I’m glad to see someone actually followed through with my mental ramblings.

John: The drawers are working great. I’m glad I used full extension slides, though. My infeed table sticks out pretty far and gets in the way a little bit.

Nice score. And great job on the storage addition.

I have 16/32 jet drum sander and I too love it. End grain boards are no sweat, literally. Also planning out rough lumber is great and no snip. I use it for a simple sander of small pieces. A very nice tool only mine cost $1100. Thank your friend again for me.

I really like that. I just have a pile of junk under mine.
It really is one of the nicest tools to have.

Thanks everyone. Just for the record, I did pay for the drum sander. It wasn’t a lot, but it wasn’t free either. And yes, I’m very lucky to have a friend like Bill.

My buddy has the Performax and it is still running great for almost 20 years so far : ) Nice to know that the JET dust hood will swap out. Thanks
Nice job on the drawers : )

-- When did quiet and quite become the same word ? I'm guessing about the same time as your and you're did.

Very nice. I have the same sander and this is just the idea I needed for storage. I bought the sander a couple years ago at auction and all of the sanding supplies came in a 5 gallon bucket….where they still live .

I’ve got the old Ryobi model of this sander. With a bit of TLC and good luck in finding replacement parts it’s still working just fine. I can’t imagine my shop without something similar.

The best thing I ever did was convert it to hook and loop sandpaper. Great machines, lousy design on holding the sandpaper in!

I always enjoy your post, especially shop furniture…As I’ve said many times, that’s my favorite thing to build.
