drum sander
Cylindrical smoothing tool
A drum sander is a power tool that smooths wood using a rotating cylindrical drum wrapped in sandpaper.
The workpiece feeds through on a conveyor belt while the spinning drum removes material evenly across the surface.
Drum sanders excel at flattening boards and achieving consistent thickness: I ran the tabletop through the drum sander to level it.
