The SuperMax 25-50 Drum Sander is the largest open-ended drum sander on the market. Sand 25″ in a single pass, and up to 50″ in a double pass. Expand the scope of projects you’re able to complete, while increasing speed and consistency in which you’re able to do them!
The 25-50 Drum Sander comes standard on the Closed Mobile Base Stand. The drum is pre-wrapped with 80 grit sandpaper. Additional accessories and sandpaper are available for purchase.
Features
Simple Alignment Feature– Just one nut will adjust the conveyor to parallel the sanding head, making aligning the conveyor to the sanding head fast and easy
Indexed Alignment Setting– Has an indexed alignment setting for narrow and wide stock. When sanding stock wider than 25″, the index lever will properly adjust the conveyor for flawless wide sanding
Drum Will Never Go “Out Of Alignment”– The drum carriage is bolted to the base, preventing any movement or alignment issues
Additional Features
INTELLISAND™ Technology:Automatically adjusts conveyor speed based on load
Prevents gouging, damaging or burning stock
Provides consistent finish even with varying grain pattern and density
Greatly increases abrasive planing and dimensioning speed
Flatness Guarantee:Precision-flattened steel conveyor bed reinforced with four steel cross sections for no “flex” in conveyor, guaranteeing flatness to less than .010″ across the width of the sander
Abrasive conveyor beltoffers the best grip for raw wood, giving you the ability to accommodate stock that is much shorter or thinner
Patented abrasive attachment systemeffectively tensions the abrasive wraps, preventing loose abrasive and overlap
Easiest Accessto abrasive fastening system of any drum sander! Extra wide space to access fasteners to eliminate need for special tools
Self-coolingdrum prevents overheating and extends abrasive life
Tension rollers are adjustablein height and hold down pressure, eliminating snipe
Excellent dust extractionas dust cover is formed to shape of drum
Metal, not plastic, is formed to maximize air flow and dust extraction
Heavy-duty cast ironconstruction for strength, rigidity and reduced vibration
Mobile baseallows for stand and machine to be to moved easily

Exceptional width capacity: sands up to 25″ in a single pass and 50″ in a double pass, enabling large panel and slab processing.
Precision engineered: features a heavy-duty cast-iron frame, extruded aluminum 5″×25″ drum and factory-flat conveyor bed for consistent results.
Smart sanding control: built-in technology adjusts conveyor speed under load to prevent burning or gouging, delivering a superior finish across varying grain densities.
Time-saving setup: features tool-free abrasive access, indexed alignment settings for wide/narrow stock, and quick height adjustment mechanisms.
Shop ready: 1¾ HP drive motor, 1740 RPM drum speed, and 110 V single-phase power make it ideal for serious production use in smaller footprint shops.
Q&A
Q: What is the maximum sanding width? A: Up to 50″ when using two passes; 25″ in a single pass. Q: What is the maximum thickness of workpiece? A: Maximum thickness is 4″ and minimum thickness down to 1/32″. Q: What drum speed and motor specification? A: Drum runs at 1740 RPM; drive motor is 1¾ HP on 110 V single-phase. Q: What are the dust collection requirements? A: The machine uses one 4″ vacuum port and recommends a minimum of 600 CFM dust extraction. Q: Is the conveyor adjustable for wider stock? A: Yes — it has an indexed alignment setting and conveyor bed designed to handle wide stock beyond 25″ with consistent flatness.
Maintenance Tips
Clean conveyor and drum after each shift: Remove resin, dust and debris from the drum and conveyor bed to maintain flatness and feed consistency.
Check and tension abrasives regularly: Ensure the abrasive wrap system is tight and properly seated to avoid overlap, slippage or finish issues.
Lubricate adjustment mechanisms: Keep height adjuster, alignment levers and conveyor bearings lightly lubricated to prevent backlash or drift over time.
Monitor feed system & motor load: Watch for excessive load or feed slow-downs; if conveyor struggles, inspect belt, motor torque or blockage in dust extraction.
Maintain dust port and extraction path: Clear the 4″ vacuum port and ensure adequate airflow (600 CFM or more) to prevent dust build-up, overheating and maintain safe operation.
