Default Drum sanders any good?

Good point Lew. It takes a lot of sanding to warrant the expense.

BUT!
having said that, it is invaluable for insuring small assemblies are

of
uniform height.


Last time I had some stuff sanded, a contractor was there with a
pick-up full of face frames for a cabinet job.

A couple of passes thru that 48" wide, 3 drum sander with a 25HP dust
collector took care of the job.

Contractor estimated he saved at least a half day's sanding.
