3 x 3 SLEEVELESS SANDING DRUM By Peachtree Woodworking - PW120 by Peachtree Woodworking

I normally don't rave about tools unless they are special or like, "how could I have missed this one all my life?". I mean, I've been working with tools since I was nine... so, that's over fifty-five years. It can use regular sandpaper or you can buy a 3" roll. You can cut three strips from a full sheet. With 80 grit Norton aluminum oxide paper, it cuts the fiberglass (FRP) like it were balsa wood and the Norton sandpaper lasts forever. I've used it all over the body of my kit car. Certainly, some advantages to it over an orbital pad sander in the right spot. Works great on curved edges.No issues with getting sandpaper tight. Has 1/2" diameter shaft. The outer covering/layer is a slightly soft neoprene foam material.

quality well made product

I bought this tool to use in sanding an arched wood piece over doorway using it in my drill press for a stable platform in guiding it.I found it is very poorly designed/engineered and almost impossible to install a new piece of sandpaper onto it. Just no way to get it tight enough to keep my drill press from slinging it off in a short period of time even at a slower speed of rotation.My advice. Do not buy this product at any price. You too will be greatly disappointed.

I used this to shape some 2" thick mahogany and it worked great. LOADS of dust, but very effective.

When a 3 inch drum sander is needed at a reduced price, I'd buy this one. If I intended to use it twice, I'd keep shopping for another..., the reason being you'll have fits getting a sander sheet into the notch. Another thing --- if you do get both ends into the notch, the likelihood of it coming out within 5 seconds can be blamed on the pin that holds them in. The ad for the product states that you use a hex wrench to turn it. Guess what? It's just a round pin having no hex-end symmetry. I used a 5/16 inch bolt and a hammer to remove it, and even then you have to remove the spindle ( 4 screws hold it in). Want to use it once, make yourself happy you didn't need it again, buy this. It performs well, and fit right inside a 3 inch toilet drain to allow a closet flange. I was pleased with it, but then found I'd never get to use it again due to shabby logistics.
