EZ-8 Drum Sander from American Sanders

The EZ 8 Drum Sander is ideal for sanding larger areas or for floors that are uneven or in poor condition and need an aggressive sanding machine.

Got mine today. Can't wait to transform the 80 yo floorboards.

I have two of these machines, also two Super 7 edgers, and two OBS 18's. Paid for my house on the backs of these babies!!

Pretty much anytime I lower the drum to the floor it makes a mark even when I’m in motion. And I never leave it down when I’m stopped. Still makes marks. A little tricky to use.

We did the big parts of our hardwood with the drum sander using 36 and 80, then picked up the rectangular orbital sander to smooth it out with 120. It helped remove the drum marks. Still tough.

Would recommend an easier to use sander if you’re not experienced.

The belt doesn't come off (or is slightly too small in diameter). I just bought it used (11.1 amps) and seems to work good. What is the belt size? Thanks.

I just inherited this sander and heard great things about it. I have one problem and appreciate any help you can give. I am noticing when the drum is in contact with the floor and moving forward, there is a large trail of dust. There is not a dust trail when moving backward. Also, to adjust the level, do you need to turn the bolt while holding the nut, or just turn the bolt. Thank you for any help you can provide!
