The South Bend SB1102 is a 26-inch drum sander built for high-volume sanding and consistent surface finishing in serious woodworking shops. Its 5 HP single-phase motor and dual-drum design let you process stock up to 26 inches wide and up to 3-3/4 inches thick with the power and capacity needed for demanding daily use.
Two 6-inch drums can be set up with different grits, making it easy to handle rough and finish sanding in a single pass. An external micro-adjustment for the outfeed drum helps fine-tune the final result, while the variable-speed conveyor and four-leadscrew table elevation system give you steady control over feed rate and sanding depth.
This machine is a strong fit for cabinet shops, furniture makers, millwork operations, and experienced woodworkers who need efficient material removal and a smooth, repeatable finish. With its industrial rubber conveyor, amp/load meter, and dual dust ports, it is designed for productive sanding of panels, boards, and other flat workpieces.
