One <BR>> would never want to feed into the rotation of the drum because like you <BR>> point out it would grab (yikes - scary to think about). My machine feeds <BR>> against the drum rotation. Now my machine also feeds on a sandpaper belt, so <BR>> any tendancy to kick back is reduced by the coarse feed belt, but the drum <BR>> really does a good job of grinding the wood down to a level where it really <BR>> doesn't contact the drum anymore - once the wood has passes through the drum <BR>> you can move it back and forth pretty easy. So I don't think most drum <BR>> sanders - even without a coarse feed belt - would tend to kick back. <BR>> 'Course, I'm not sanding off a quarter inch at a time either.....<BR>> <BR>> Terry Farrell<BR>> <BR>> ----- Original Message ----- <BR>> > That sounds like it would want to grab or kick back.
