Gee Lew... I thought you were trying to bait folks into getting one

The typical commercial drum sander has 3 sanding drums, each driven by
a 25 HP motor, and a 20 HP bag house type dust collector.

Turning on 95 HP puts things in perspective.

Makes the typical hobbist unit look like the toy it is.
