I just bought the Rikon 1” belt/8”disc sander and it does and excellent job but there are thing it doesn’t do. I have a spindle sander on my to buy list when I can afford it. As tedstor says you are comparing apples and oranges. I have a drum sander for my drill press. It doesn’t work as efficiently as I would like. It also cause sideways wear on the bushing in the drill press spindle.
