N.B. Drum sanders are used as part of the finishing process, they are not intended to be used as a planer/thicknesser or for significant stock removal. A drum sander does not replace a planer/thicknesser and vice versa. Drum sanders are intended to be used with pre-planed and thicknessed material. Overall a planer/thicknesser is meant to dimension timber, the drum sander to finish it.
