WDS-4080P INTRODUCTION TO DRUM SANDING FUNCTION Drum sanding, sometimes referred to as “abrasive planing” is a repetitive process of sanding both sides of wooden stock to a desired thickness and/or smoothness. When this process is performed correctly, both face surfaces will be parallel to one another.

However, because of the minimal pressure exerted by the drum sander, it is possible to remove cup, since the lumber is not compressed flat on feed belt and table. Be patient, this process can take quite a while depending on cup depth.
