I just brought this new Powermatic drum sander from Axminster, I heard so much about Powermatic machinery and how great they are from lots of people in America! So I really wanted to buy one for myself. In the UK you can only buy a hand full of their products. Which is a shame for people not in the US. So I hope they bring from products over! I hope you enjoy the video!

THANKS FOR WATCHING

That's an awesome piece of machinery Sean, you're really getting you shop set up nicely. I can see that you're gonna run out of room though.
Hey Greg! Thank you so much. Yes I'm very lucky. I'm slowing building up the tool collection and updated some old kit. I will be able to make so much for things with the new kit. yes your right haha I only have so much space
Nice - I think Powermatic make the best machines out there! That machine should have the ability to set your absolute units. Maybe it is something you just haven't figured out yet? I have a Supermax 19-38 and bought the digital gauge to go with it, which worst case scenario, you could add that to your machine. Congrats.
Hey Peter, yes it should, I'm gonna read the manual and see if you can set it up that way. thanks for the advice
That’s terrific thanks
The amazing thing to me is that across the pond American equipment is viewed as high quality, yet I myself at least yearn for equipment from there ( Felder CNC's, altendorf sliding table saw ect). Distance making the heart grow fonder I guess 😁
Hey man, well you are very lucky to have powermatic, because they really are great machinery. yes we do have felder and wadkin, but i still like powermatic. the issue with wadkin is... they were made like beast (all cast iron) but because it's an old company it's very hard find replacement or space parts, and powermatic is like the current day wadkin. and Felder is very big machinery for very large shops... maybe one day ahahaha
@@SeanEvelegh with the skills you have demonstrated, coming from another professional woodworker myself, it will all come in due time my friend....but as u know, the want for more and better equipment never fades Haha. All the best from the other side! Chris
@@cncwoodworxroc6881 Hi Chris, that is very kind, thank you very much! I will keep pushing, and hopefully i get there. thanks again, I'm looking forward to showing you more videos
i've been looking for a drum sander online came across your channel through chance as yes being in the uk was struggling to find places that sell a drum sander cause of the price tag also glad u can get this drum sander in the uk keep up the good work mate
HI Ian, Thank for watching... and welcome to the channel! Woodworking is huge in America, can you can buy everything there, so hopefully in the future they will bring over more things! I'm looking forward to showing you more videos
@@SeanEvelegh thanks for the reply yes i look forward 2 more videos epsially seeing more in deaph how good the drum sander also was gonna ask your advice on a band saw as i read reviews and would like insight and a belt sander for precision cutting if that makes sence
@@ianbishop934 Hi Ian, yes I would be able to do that in the future. are you talking about the horizontal edge sander? because i will probably be doing a video on that in the future.
@@SeanEvelegh yes as I need a band saw and and any advice would be greatly appreciated
I was looking at this sander myself so would be keen to see a review. I would be interested to see how it does at sanding shop sawn veneer - how thin can it go and is it consistent. And also on larger pieces like table tops - does it bog down or deflect when heavier timber is being passed through?
Hi Henry, thank you for watching. yes in the future i probably will do a review on the machine. if you where looking for a drum sander, the big three everyone talks about are the Powermatic, Jet and the Supermax ones. I have used the jet, and the powermatic, but not the supermax. I believe the powermatic is the best made out of them all.
Good job. I am looking for byuing one. Thanks for the thing with the wheels . very important for me
No problem, I'm glad it was helpful!
@@SeanEvelegh can you tell me please, is this machine strong and powerful enough to sand a table top measuring 50mm high, 900mm wide and 2000mm long? I know that is possible to sand 44 inch wide but is acurate for a bigger table top like that?
@@adrianluica6960 yes you should be able to do it, the sand paper will get clogged quicker and you would be to clean it with a rubber block after every pass... it's the best open ended drum sander you can buy in my opinion. however if you are doing lost of large table tops, I would recommend getting a bigger duel drum sander
@@SeanEvelegh Yes I know but a 900mm sander is more than 5000 Euro. Somehow I need a drumsander but a heavy duty one would be too expensive for me. This powermatic seams to be a good compromise. I have to choose between this and a 600mm wide dedicated from Axminster. That one is stronger but I would be limited to 600mm. This one is not so heavy but at least is possible to sand bigger items. What would you choose between this two?
@@adrianluica6960 hey man, axminster brought out a duel drum sander which is slightly less than the powermatic one. If that was out when i was buying mine, I probably would have went for the axminster one. a double sided drum sander is more rigid and stable. I've never used the open end powermatic feature.
When can we see how this thing work? Not to many videos about that. Eventualy if yiu can sand somethng wider then 22 inch would be great.
Hi, I'm thinking of buying a drum saber, I would like to know which drum sander is better, this Powermatic 22-Inch or the superMax 25-50?
I will greatly appreciate the information
I haven’t used the supermax, but have heard very good things. Personally I know powermatic are fantastic and always recommend them
Powermatic claim the motor can't be converted to 220V. How does it work in the UK--did they swap the motor, did you do some sort of rewiring, or does that plug adaptor some how magically drop a power leg or somesuch to convert to 110?
I guessed they changed something for the uk machines. I didn't change anything myself
Thanks for the prompt reply. I am surprised if you can just plug in that 60hz 110v motor into 50hz 240v But it appears to work...
Hi Sean, i hope you can help me because i am really frustrated with an issue in the machine. I have this sander less than a year, it does a great job but... the conveyor belt is drifting slowly to the right (where the control panel is). I have made made all the suggested adjustments Powermatic says but no luck. I put more tension to the right screw to stop the drifting but still the belt wants to move to the right grabbing at last on the ceramic magnetic guide and wears it out. I put more tension on the left screw to try but same effect. I am not able to put the belt in the middle. Can you please tell me if yours stays put? Have send several e-mails to Powermatic and they say if i cannot fix it my self, to send them the table with the belt for examination and potential repair! Told then i cannot do that as i live in Greece and shipping will take very long plus i am sure it will be damaged by the transportation plus the shipping cost. I paid for the machine 3.000€!! and i have this issue? The problem was from week 1, machine is brand new, less than 10 hours of use. I am very disappointed. Have seen from others that the conveyor is closer to the right than to the left. I can see the witness marks from the ceramic guide on the black belt. Is this normal? Please help if you can. Thanks in advance.
Hi Polis, That’s weird, I’ve never had that issue. So unfortunately I can’t really help. All I can suggest is to keep adjusting the rollers and make sure the belt is on the right way. Maybe you can ask some woodwork groups on Facebook and some forums. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful.
@@SeanEvelegh so yours is perfectly in the center of the rollers? Equal space left and right into the ceramic guides underneath the table without touching (the edges of belt) the inside ends of the guides? Because on your video i can see that you have white marks on the right side meaning that it scratches the right guide
Hey Sean, love I love your work....what I want to know is where do u get the inlays from? Appreciate ur time. Thanks
Hey Mark, I make all the inlay myself. thanks for watching my videos. glad you like them.
@@SeanEvelegh I dont have the equipment to do that....is there a manufacturer that u would recommend? I've seen a few via Google. Again thank you for your time.
@@markb8468 HI Mark, are you in the UK. because you can buy them from woodworking shops/wood stores. there's a great one in Kent called 'Timberline'
@@SeanEvelegh thanks again for the reply....and I am in the U.S. what I lack is a thickness sander and good enough bandsaw. This will b my 1st attempt at an inlay but I'm fairly proficient at detailed work. I also have access to essentially a limitless amount of rough cut old barn material like 2.5"x18". Should b fun
@@markb8468 Hi Mark, in the future, I will make some videos on how to make inlay edge banding

What's an old shoe
Ahh, another person consumed by the idea that powermatic is a US made machine... NOPE... Powermatic have stopped manufacturing their machines in the USA, some two years or more ago now, and guess what...just like Axminster tools, their machines are manufactured in CHINA... I suggest you look at the manual for the machine, under the heading of ‘Certificate of Conformity’....this used to have a statement about the machines conformity with EU standards, which is why everyone ignored that bit after a while, and exactly why the EU changed the rules so the Country of Origin, could be included in this section, and is nowhere shown on any part of the machine (e.g. like the old Made in England stamp)... So please, don’t assume that just because it’s a USA brand, it’s not made in China....NOW GO LOOK AT THE MACHINES MANUAL, AND THE CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMITY...I bet it gives some weird address on an industrial site in China...!!!
Hi Stuart, thanks for watching. I didn't say the machines where Made in American, I just said they were Sold in America, and that I would like more of the products sold over here. Hopefully you enjoyed the video anyway, see you in the next one
