I’m considering biting the bullet and getting a drum sander. Since I have to keep everything mobile in my garage, I’m looking at Delta and Jet 120v machines. Can anyone make a recommendation?

Thanks

Jet has bought out Performax apparently so I would go for the Jet. I have a Performax 22/44 and I use it for almost everything I do.

I’ve got the Delta 31-255x and it’s hard to imagine being without it. It’s great!

I have the Performax 22/44 also and love it.

I have a Delta 31-250, which is several years old. Don’t know the difference between it and the newest model, but I’ve been very happy with it. Use it quite a bit. Also, if you buy your sandpaper on bulk rolls, rather than precut, it will save you a considerable amount of money.

I cut the discs for my drum today.
Plan on hitting Northern Hardware for pillow blocks this week.
I have most of the wood and MDF from prior projects so it looks to be somewhat inexpensive.
