You could make a lathe-powered drum sander very inexpensively. I know a couple
people that have done this and say it works great, not as good as a Performax

on his "Drum Sander Article": http://www.smithart.us/download.htm

BlankI need a wide belt sander, very inexpensive. I just got started =
with segmented turning and need to smooth each row of segments before =
gluing. My 3" belt sander just doesn't cut it. Any used, old machines =
out there? any suggestions?

I am located in Houston, Texas.
