Size and Capacity
Despite the compact 60”-wide x 45”-deep x 45”-
tall overall size, (DDS-237 model) the
POWERMATIC Dual Drum Sanders have the
capacity to handle a huge range of jobs from
small to large. With a minimum board length of
just 9”, a minimum thickness of 1/32” and
maximum thickness of 5-1/4”, these sanders offer
expansive job coverage.
The top of the cabinet opens for easy access to the drums
and shows the special dust system that helps keep this
machine performing.
Spacious Cabinet
The POWERMATIC Dual Drum Sanders are enclosed in an all-steel cabinet. Compartments
with latching doors at the bottom enclose the motor, drive systems and provide spacious storage.
Removable panels provide good access to important systems when needed.
The full-width, hinged steel top opens
to make working with the drums and
roller systems easy. Built into the top
are a pair of 4”-diameter dust ports.
These ports connect to specially
designed directional baffles within the
top that enhance the effectiveness of
the dust evacuation. For maximum
efficiency, a dust collector system
with a minimum 1200-CFM (cubic
feet per minute) capacity should be
used.
The rubber-covered steel drums enhance accuracy and consistency.
