Our take on the Laguna Tools Classic Drum Sander 19-38

The Laguna Tools Classic Drum Sander 19-38 is a 110V, 15-amp open-end drum sander for flattening and thicknessing raw wood. Its 5-inch drum sands 19 inches in one pass and up to 38 inches with two passes, and both conveyor speed and brush speed are variable. It runs on a standard household circuit, which is unusual for a sander this wide. It suits small shops that need wide, flat panels without a 220V line.

Questions and answers

Is the Laguna 19-38 worth it over a cheaper benchtop sander?
If you flatten panels wider than 10 inches, yes. The 19-inch pass and variable feed do work a benchtop unit cannot. For narrow stock only, a smaller sander is enough.
Can it run on a normal household outlet?
Yes. It draws 15 amps at 110V, so it needs a dedicated 15-amp circuit. Avoid sharing the circuit with a shop vac or dust collector.
How wide can it sand?
19 inches in one pass. The open end lets you flip the board and sand up to 38 inches in two passes, with a seam line to blend.
Does it come with sandpaper?
It ships with an 80-grit abrasive wrap on the drum. You will want a range of grits, and the conveyor belt is a separate abrasive belt.
What dust collector do I need?
A 1 HP or larger collector with a 4-inch hose is the usual match. Drum sanding makes fine dust fast, so run collection every time.
When is it cheapest?
Woodworking retailers discount it around major tool sales and holidays. Check price history before buying; the list price holds steady most of the year.
