The W1678 accepts large materials at a full 26" wide and up to 4" thick. This dual drum sander can be fitted with two different grits, allowing both rough and finish sanding in one pass.

The variable-speed feed from 0 to 20 feet per minute allows you to find the perfect feed rate for your sanding project.

    Good machine, not for the novice woodworker

    a year ago
    I purchased this machine used for a good price. It had been pretty well maintained since its production date of 2007. I set it up according to the specs in the manual and had some major issues with snipe. After about 3 hours of fine tuning I finally got it running perfectly. I can see how some that are not familiar with drum sander operation could get frustrated with this machine. I also think those who have negative reviews may be using it incorrectly. It’s a sander for light surface removal, not a planer for heavy stock cleanup. The amp load meter is very helpful to monitor your motor load for sure. Dust collection is better than I thought it would be, but requires a little fine tuning as well. If I had to buy it new, I would probably wait for the sale again but I certainly wouldn’t pay 4k plus for it. Overall I’m very pleased with this machine!

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    We're glad that, after some initial fine-tuning, you got the machine running perfectly. Your insight on the machine’s intended use is very helpful for others, as it’s designed for light surface removal (sander) rather than heavy stock cleanup (planer). Thank you for sharing your detailed review, and we appreciate your support.

    Disappointed.

    2 years ago
    I bought this a 4 years ago and very seldom use, because it lacks power to sand anything 26" and it dosent sand very evenly. My biggest gripe with it is how cheap the side covers are. And the fact that mdf is what was used for guiding the belt table. We had a storm come through and had roof damage. Most of my equipment got moderately wet. I dried it off and all was fine, except my drum sander. Table swoll up and is all lumpy.

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    Providing high-quality and reliable performance is important to us, and we're disappointed to learn that the sander did not meet your expectations. While our equipment is designed to withstand normal operating conditions, extreme circumstances such as water exposure can lead to issues like swelling and warping. Please reach out to our Product Support team to discuss possible solutions or provide further assistance. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.
