Background
Our current drum sander has become a maintenance nightmare. It seems to be down as often as not, and eats its own conveyor belt on a regular basis. The proposed drum sander has a more robust system for adjusting the conveyor belt travel.In addition, it is an industrial unit that should hold up better to the rigors of makerspace service.
Synopsis
Purchase a Powermatic DDS225 drum sander.

Authorize the Board to spend up to $ZZZZ for a replacement drum sander.
