Should I jump on this Jet drum sander? w/ pic
I’d love to have a drum sander and I’m seeing this available for $200. Should I jump on it?

At $200 you can't hardly go wrong! Don't think, someone else will grab it!
That's what I'm thinking but there doesn't seem to be any feed belt...only a 1x board platform. How are the pieces supposed to feed through?
What I've figured out is the feed system has been completely removed, and it's not worth what little money they're asking.
Any thoughts on this one? Asking price is 600. They say everything works as it should.
You are right, without the feed system, it's worthless.
I wouldn't buy the Ryobi. Keep looking, and save your pennies.
And stay away from the Delta 18-36. I won't use mine anymore and reviews I have read point out all the same problems I have.
