The SL-8 drum sander features a 1.5 hp constant speed motor and soft rubber drum with a unique cam locking system that combine to work like a professional sander. The sandpaper is held between 2 spring-loaded cams. The slow (1800 RPM) constant speed of the drum will not gouge floors.

The tilt action for the SL-8 allows for more controlled and even sanding when compare to other machines. When you sand forward and backward with the SL-8, you can be assured of straight sanding because it runs on the drum and wheels. The weight of the machine is specifically designed and evenly distributed for the best results.
