All Replies on Supermax 19-38 Combo brush/drum sander Advice needed!

It will be interesting to see the replies to this, I didn’t even know those were available. I have a 19/38 (sander only) in my sights for later this year; enough good feedback I may spring for that model instead.

I’ll add a dumb question; what is the brush function for – cleaning up rough or reclaimed lumber?

I’m also eyeing up one of these for next year.

I have the 2×25” sander and I’ve been very happy with it. The brush is design for profile work such as moulding & doors as well as cleaning up reclaimed lumber without completely stripping it.

BTW, if you subscribe to Acme’s email list, they usually send you a 10% coupon a week later. Max discount is $150 though. I also purchase rolls of sandpaper from Industrial Abrasives.

Thanks for the replies, glad to hear your supermax is working out for you Clammy! I ordered it with the drum sanding attachment, in and out feed tables and 36 through 180 grit rolls of paper. I actually went though Circle Saw Building Supply http://www.circlesaw.com/sanders-and-grinders/supermax-71938-19x38-combo-brush-and-drum-sander/ they had it a bit cheaper and its shipping direct from supermax.

I’ll post some pics and a review when I get it setup
