I recently purchased a PC oscillating drum sander. Works well.

I am not sure about method(s) of removing the sleeves from the drum without
damaging the rubber on the drum. I am sure someone out there has an east
method. (Someone recommended cutting the sleeve)


Slacking off a bolt or nut on the end of the spindle should let the
sanding cylinder slip off--if it doesn't then it may be time to replace
the rubber part. Or if it was bought used some idiot may have glued it
on.
