Equipment advice please
I thickness wood by hand, hand planes, routers, belt and disc sanders, sawing etc. I am looking at a Jet drum sander. Does anyone here have a drum sander and any advice on picking which size? I look at the 1020, 1632 and 1836. I do not want to waste money and wish I had bigger later but I will run some think 10/4 lumber through it and am concerned about the feed belt on the smaller unit. The price is attractive but I do not know how durable they are. Any thoughts or experience welcome. I could swing any of these three and don't plan on any sanding over 80 or maybe 140 grit probably just 60 and 80. I buy my lumber form a local mill all ruff sawn and in live edge chunks so a little more work but I have no issue cutting it to what I want and they kiln dry to furniture grade so and order can take months to get. It does make for some thick and possibly long lumber at times. Thanks! I figure of all the places I go you guys will have the most useful advice for me because although I am not pro instrument builder I dabble but also do cabinets chests table etc. Thanks!
