Drum floor sanders are mainly used for refinishing or polishing wood floors in older houses where the floor is made up of scuffs and scratches. A sander power tool is basically a sheet of sandpaper attached to a drum that spins at high speed - perfect for jobs such as sanding off adhesive or paint from floorboards. It is a very aggressive machine, thus care must be taken when used. When it is not sure correctly, it can leave grooves in the floor.
One company that is well known for its power tools design and manufacturing is Performax. Some popular models offered by Performax are the JET 629004K 16-32 Plus 16-Inch 1-1/2-Horsepower, and JET 649005K 22X44 Plus 22-Inch 1-3/4-Horsepower drum sanders. These innovative tools will cut your sanding time up to 80 percent and can handle both small and large jobs. The 16-32 Plus model can handle a wide of material sizes ranging from 1/32 inch to 3 inches thick. It is equipped with two powerful motors that spin the drum at a consistent level of 1725 RPM. The 22x44 Plus is also a very powerful drum sander featuring a "SandSmart" control that monitors the load of the drum motor as well as the speed rate of the conveyor motor.
