Re: Help request with my drum sander
Carl, glad you came up with a solution. I think my suggestion should have been more directed to Enrico.

Re: Help request with my drum sander
The precision we can expect from "home workshop" tooling is much less than an industrial tool might give. Two tenths of a millimetre is less than 8 thousandths of an inch. I would be very happy with that kind of accuracy with the woodworking tools I have. If it is truly a problem then a "work around" might be to leave the board 4 inches longer and cut off the the first and last two inches after thicknessing it.

I was away for a while. I thank you a lot for your help guys. I’ll try adjusting the pressure rollers and see what happens. Thanks

If you have the Jet manual, checkout pages 19-20. It talks about this very issue. Here's a link to the manual if you need it, http://content.jettools.com/assets/manu ... man_EN.pdf.

Re: Help request with my drum sander
You’re right I missed it. I was probably discouraged by reading all these English technical terms. I think I will have to spend some time and read the instructions accurately. There is a lot of information that I miss for sure. Thanks for taking the time to look into it
