A drumslipemaskin, often referred to as a drum sander, is a stationary power tool used for sanding large, flat surfaces such as tabletops, cabinet doors, and workpieces with intricate shapes. It utilizes a rotating drum covered with sandpaper that moves across the workpiece. The workpiece is typically fed into the machine via a conveyor belt, and the depth of the cut can be adjusted by raising or lowering the drum relative to the belt.

Drum sanders are known for their efficiency and ability to remove material quickly, making them suitable for heavy-duty sanding tasks. They are commonly found in woodworking shops and factories where consistent and precise sanding is required over large areas. Different grit sandpapers can be used on the drum to achieve various levels of smoothness.

The operation of a drum sander involves careful adjustment of the feed rate and the depth of cut to avoid damaging the workpiece or the sandpaper. Dust collection is an important feature of these machines, as sanding produces a significant amount of wood dust. Safety precautions, such as wearing eye and respiratory protection, are essential when operating a drum sander.
