Laguna Tools Classic 13″ Combination Brush/Drum Sander

What Our Experts Think

• Versatile finishing machine: handles both brush and optional drum sanding in one unit — ideal for raw wood, between coats, or wire-brushing textures.

• Good capacity for small shop production: accepts boards up to 13″ wide, and up to 4″ thick with the appropriate head.

• Variable speed control: both the brush RPM (approx. 400-1,200) and conveyor feed rate (0-10 fpm) are infinitely adjustable for precision finishes.

• Compact footprint, professional build: strong steel conveyor bed, poly belt, and precise height adjustment make it shop-ready.

• Optimizes workflow: quickly change brush heads or abrasive loadings and reduce bottlenecks in finishing operations.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean belt and conveyor bed regularly: Remove dust, resin and debris from belt and bed to maintain flat feeding and consistent results.

• Check brush or drum head condition: Inspect bristles or drum surface for wear or damage—replace when uneven finish or vibration appears.

• Lubricate adjustment mechanisms: Keep height adjuster and tension rollers free-moving; apply light oil periodically.

• Verify conveyor tension & tracking: Ensure the poly belt remains well-aligned and tensioned for stable feeding.

• Maintain dust extraction port: Clear the 1-4″ dust hood and keep airflow at recommended minimum (~600 CFM) to reduce heat, resin buildup and extend life.
