The Sherwood 16in Wide Drum Sander delivers serious sanding performance in a versatile, workshop-friendly package. Whether you're tackling wide panels or fine finish work, this sander offers the precision and power you need—now with improved usability and optional upgrades for even more functionality.

1125W Motor & Fast 1400 RPM Drum Speed

Don’t be fooled by its compact size—this sander packs a punch. Powered by a 1125W (1.5HP) motor, it maintains consistent torque under load and won’t bog down, even on larger workpieces. With a drum speed of 1400 RPM, you’ll enjoy rapid material removal while achieving smooth, even finishes across the board.

Open Design for Wider Capacity

Thanks to its open-ended drum design, the Sherwood 16in model offers exceptional versatility. It can handle 400mm (16in) capacity in a single pass and up to 800mm (32in) capacity by rotating your workpiece for a second pass. This makes it ideal for both standard and oversized panels, cabinetry components, and furniture parts.

Large 130mm Drum for Extended Sanding Life

The sander features a generously sized 130mm sanding drum, providing:

• Greater surface coverage per rotation
• Fewer paper changes
• Improved sanding consistency over time

Its size gives it a performance edge over smaller-drum competitors in both efficiency and lifespan.

Variable Feed Rate

A variable speed conveyor feed lets you fine-tune sanding speed to match your material, application, and desired finish. Whether you're after aggressive stock removal or a silky-smooth final surface, this sander adjusts to suit your style.

Portable and Stable Design

Mounted on a robust open-leg stand, this unit balances stability and portability. Easily move it around your workshop when needed, then lock it in place to maintain a solid, vibration-free stance during operation.

Expandable with Optional Extension Tables

For larger workpieces, add optional in-feed and out-feed extension tables (sold separately) to increase support and ease material handling.

Efficient Dust Extraction

Dual 100mm (4in) dust ports ensure optimal dust removal during operation, helping maintain a cleaner workspace and better visibility. Connect to a dust extractor for safe, efficient sanding every time.
