I've got a cast epoxy widget about 6 inches long x 2 inches wide x 1
inch tall.

It's cast in a mold and has a sharp edge around the top from the
casting
process. I want to remove this and shave maybe 1/16" off the top.

The sides are sloped so I cant grip it in a vice and machine it
under a
milling machine.


I came across drum sanders and wondered if something like one of these
might work?

Generally the best tool for sanding a 6" piece like this would be a
belt sander. The fence holds the work piece from flying off and a heck
of a lot cheaper than a drum sander.

Something like this:

And then you need a planer to make the surfaces parallel again.

In 40+ years of using a sander like this I never once had to run
anything thru the planer after sanding. Either I have magic hands, or
you have lead hands, or you are sanding something for brain surgery.
