Powermatic DDS-237 37-Inch Dual Drum Sander, 7-1/2 HP, 230V 1Ph

The Powermatic DDS-237 is a 37-inch dual drum sander with a 7-1/2 HP 230V 1Ph TEFC motor and two 6-inch drums.

Boards up to 5-1/4 inches thick ride on a conveyor belt over the table, with a two-speed forward/reverse feed of 8 and 12 SFPM.

Rough and Finish in One Pass

The front drum removes stock while the independently adjustable rear drum refines the surface, so you get flatter boards with fewer passes.
