HOOK & LOOP ON DRUM SANDER

[Pop Golden]

Has anybody used or has information on using hook & loop on a drum sander? I might try this out, but need more info.

My Woodmaster drum sander uses hook and loop. What do you need to know about it?

Following.... I have the Performx 16-32.

Jerry I think Pop is trying to see if he can adapt the drum to use hook and loop.

Woodmaster drum sanders use Hook and Loop paper and they sell replacement Velcro for the drums if it gets damaged.

I had a Woodmaster drum sander years ago and the hook & loop works great.

I have a Supermax 19-38 that I bought used, the previous owner had hook and loop on it, I spent hours stripping it off and cleaning off the adhesive. With the hook and loop, the paper doesn't lay flat on the drum, instead it's off the drum by whatever thickness the hook and loop is...and this ends up being variable depending on how much it all compresses. When running a board through without it, the board is the same thickness all the way across...with the hook and loop, not so much. I use the drum sander to flatten rings for segmented turning, variable thickness is a no go.
