Anyone can rent a drum sander
from Tips 01/26/2002

Anyone can rent a drum sander, but not everyone can control it. The pressure has to be consistent, and you have to keep moving steadily. If you mess up, you end up with a divot in your floor. If you'd like to try your hand at sanding, rent one of the less aggressive machines Try a sander with a flat, rectangular sanding pad that moves in tiny circles – like a palm sander that you push. It's a lot slower that a drum sander, but that can be a good thing.
