I am deciding whether or not to buy the Grizzly 10" drum sander (G0716) for my small shop.
Factors involved in choosing this model is most and foremost the price. I cannot, at this moment, afford anything higher than this machine and this machine seems to be the least expensive in the market.
What I like about this sander:
My question is; does anyone have this machine, if so, how does it perform.
Obviously, I don't expect it to perform any where near a higher end model.
I opened a small woodworking shop doing cabinet refacing and some furniture such as head boards. I need to be able to effectively sand raised panels, styles and rails, and other narrow pieces.
I looked at the sand flee but it did not impress me for medium quantity production. I expect to be sanding about 40 to 100 boards per project no more than 12" wide as this is the size limitation of my planer.
Any help, as always, is greatly appreciated.

What I like about this sander:
- it is open end so I can run wider boards;
- the drum moves up and down instead of the table, which would allow me to have an infeed/outfeed table.
- The open end has a bracket to minimize head deflection.
- it is 115v single phase
