I’d love to have a drum sander and I’m seeing this available for $200.  Should I jump on it?

 

Any idea how pieces are fed through?  I don’t see any conveyor belt on it.

Yeah I’m gonna pass on it.  It looks like the conveyor system is completely gone.  Any thoughts on this one?  Asking price is 600.  They say everything works as it should.

Wish I could give more insight but don’t know that much about these sanders.  It looks like a good sander considering all the metal.  I would think the only thing that would go wrong would be a motor which would have to be easy to replace.
