How I use my Drum Sander for most projects, Jet 18-36 

Hi All! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!.... huge thanks for helping me hit 400K ! Hope everyone has a Happy & healthy 2019. See you next year

A big part of why I enjoy your videos is the quality of the video. High definition is just better to watch. Keep up the great builds also.

Thanks for the video on the drum sander. I’ve acquired a used one and haven’t had time to do much work with it. This gives me the answers to a couple of questions I’ve had about it.

Keep the videos coming and I will keep watching, liking and commenting. Your videos are awesome, it's a joy to watch not only your skill as a woodworker, but perhaps even more so, how you can make really beautiful things using standard materials and your knowledge - much more esthetic than I can make from the same starting point.

Great tips, Jon. Congrats on 400K! It's very well deserved. You are definitely one of the most informative and enjoyable woodworkers to watch on RU-vid! Happy holidays to you and yours!

Congratulations on 400K, it’s certainly well deserved. Your content is outstanding. Proud to say I’m in process of repeating your blanket box from video you made a few years ago.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Jon. I really appreciate your practical approach to projects.

Have a Merry Christmas and a healthy and prosperous new year.

So happy for you John. I have been on board from the start. Always an inspiration. I will be joining Maker Mob in the New Year and I am Looking forward to you getting your opportunity on a full home restoration. Merry Christmas to you and the family.

Oh dear! I had been thinking I'd got all the tools and machines I could possibly need so had not asked for anything for the shop from my family this year, and now you go and plant another idea in my head - but I've certainly missed out on Christmas 2018! Still, my birthday is in January . . . . . . . Anyway, thanks, Jon, for all your excellent videos, and may I wish you all the season's greatings from across the pond.

Yeah a drum sander would definitely be a great addition to my shop too. Happy Holidays to you and the family too, Jon.

Love your work and videos. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Merry Christmas, Jon!

Merry Christmas , as always you do professional looking work; I made a makeshift backstop for my oscillating spindle sander to be my drum sander for small moulding parts.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year building a house in 2019!!!!!! Stay warm and safe!

Wish you and your wonderful family a great Christmas and all the best in 2019!

Awesome dude. Good tips! I'd love to see how you would remodel a house.

Merry Christmas!

You really are a great educator, thanks for all you do

Merry Christmas Jon ! :-)

Hi Jon,Marry Christmas 💓

Merry CHRISTmas John to you and your family.

Look forward to the house project I' m thinking of a hunting cabin myself could use the tips Thank you Jon Merry Christmas

it's great for solid panel cabinet doors.

Happy Holidays! Glad you have hit this milestone. Your videos are among the best out there; i expect more subscribers to come your way. i rewatch many of your videos and have made some of your projects. Keep it up. Drum sanders: did you ever consider the jet bench top ? i want to add to my shop but want to be careful on using valuable space .

Hey!!!!!! You are a master big....

Thank you for the drum sander tips Im a proud owner of a Grizzly G0458Z :-)

Have yet to get a drum sander. Lol

Hi Jon and Merry Christmas. Liked this video but I wish you had gone into the use of your DS more. I just got a Jet 18-36 and have thought about selling it because I haven't done anything with it that my DW-735 could do better. I just got it Thanksgiving so I will give it some time.

I think the planer it is more important ,but the drum sander it is a great addition to any shop

Hi Jon. Great video! What grit do you recommend for the drum sander paper?

Hello Jon, Great video. What grit do you use normally use on the drum sander?

Would you purchase the Jet again if you were to purchase one today? I have a small performax and am going to replace it with either a 25-50 Jet or the Supermax. they look very similar and seem to be made by the same company, but i'm not sure...thanks for the video!

I have a jet 18-36, but no planer thicknesser. I only work with figured woods. Is the planer necessary in a small shop?

I have the Proformax ( now Jet ) 16/32 drum sander. Could you do a short video on installing the sanding rolls? Sometimes I get it right, but often not and the paper rips off... you have a way of explaining things clearly that others don’t. Thanks for the videos, looking forward to the house videos.

What brand are those clamps that you used to hold the face frame in place? And where do I get them from?

Hey Jon. I’m in the market for a new benchtop planer and a drum sander. I was just wondering if you found yourself gravitating more towards one in the natural flow of you work. I understand the purposes/benefits of each, just wondering if over the years you’ve found one work more efficiently with your project flow. Can’t afford to buy both at once so hoping to get the best option first.

Does anyone have any experience with the Jet 22-44 drum sander? I'm considering buying a used one that seems to be in fairly decent shape, but feel like the newer machines might be a little better with adjusting the levelness of the drum, etc.

Hi. With downsizing, I had to move my separate garage woodworking shop to storage for a few years and now I am resetting it up in the basement of our new home. The room is unfinished with poured floor, 2 drywall and 2 concrete walls, an open 8' ceiling and is good size (about 15' x 30'), with 1 door on an end wall. I am considering how best to arrange my floor equipment (i.e., 3hp table saw, 15" planer, 8" joiner, 16" drill press, 14" bandsaw, and 24" lathe) and would appreciate any suggestions you have. All of these pieces are movable on roller bases if needed. I also recently bought a new 12" slide miter saw (I believe like yours) and want to build-in an end wall with cabinets as a permanent miter location. I like yours in this RU-vid and would love to see a plan and maybe video of how you made it or how you would make it again now. Thanks, so far i have enjoyed all of your postings, Chuck

So you use it instead of a planer? Less snipe? Sandpaper is cheaper the planer blades?

What grit paper do you suggest

I have the same sander, but the previous model. I love it for the most part, however, when I run more than two or three pieces at once, I often end up with some level of slippage. Not a lot, but enough to make me lose trust in that kind of operations with multiple pieces. Do you have that problem?

Hi John, I cannot get rid of snipe with my machine. Very light passes, have tried the rollers tensioned in every possible position. Any suggestions?

As one of the few people I've seen who own this drum sander, I've got to ask what kind of paper you use or where you get it? I've had my Jet 18-36 for almost a year and have tried the Dewalt paper (6" that I cut down to 3 3/8") made by Klingspor and usually it will last about ten passes before disintegrating. I'm on the verge of selling my sander because it doesn't get used nearly as much as I was anticipating due to this issue. Maybe part of it is my technique for installing the paper, but I've done it enough times I feel I get it fairly tight.

What grit paper do you use on your drum for this type of work?

What grit paper do you use the most on the drum sander?

Hay John how big is ur shop. Thanks marry Xmas

What grit do you use on your drum sander?

Do you have any issues with snipe?

👍🎄💥

same to you Jon and behave yourself. :)

I always get thrown when you call it a drum sander. In the shop I worked in we always called it a wide belt sander. But we used it for the same purpose. Basically as a light duty surface planer or shaper.

Are you happy with this or should I buy a supermax?

Hi ser i well follow always your video .but your video maximem only 2 '3 '4 minit .so we need wide discripiton .tanxs

Show how you do wide pieces, not one inch strips.

🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! Thank's for your videos!
