Initial impressions of the Performax 10-20 Plus Drum Sander

Good question Tom. Kevin, I too would like to know how 4" dust port works with that unit. My 16-32 came with a 2 1/2" port on top. It does work okay but am a big believer in the 4" for good draw.

As far as the dust pick-up, it went fine, I used a broom, hehehehehe. One thing I haven't bought yet is a dust collector...someday maybe. I will say it seemed like all of the dust did shoot out through the dust collection port though.

Well, the important thing is that the dust port knows which direction to shoot that dust. Makes it easier to sweep up ya know. By the way Kevin I got the whachamacallit thingy with the broom, oh yah, a dust pan. Works great and use it almost as often as I use my electric DC.

Well, you convinced me to pull the string. I've been wanting to add a drum sander to my shop and Woodcraft's 10% sale was just the incentive. I called the store closest to me today to make sure they had one in stock (I'd hate to make a 90 minute round trip for nothing) and they didn't But . . . they would order me one at the sale price! I'll just have to wait a few extra days to bring'r home. Now, about that tracking . . .
