Recently I posted about purchasing a delta 26" dual drum sander. It takes a 5-1/8" wide roll, which doesn't seem to be common width and right now I'm waiting to hear back from Klingspor, to see if they can get that for me. Any other brands to look at? If you have a dual drum sander what do you keep for grits on it? I was thinking of sticking with 80 on the first drum and maybe 150 on the 2nd drum. Do any of you change grits often, on the second drum or do you just finish sand with an orbital after?
While typing this out Klingspor called me back and I can get it from 60-180grit. I had them quote me 80 and 150grits in both 10m and 25m rolls. Looks like each grit was within a buck or two of each other and I can get 4 change outs with the 10m roll for ~$40 and 10 change outs with the 25m roll for ~$90. 25m seems to be the way to go, just want to check with you guys on the grits.
Thanks,
Bob
