The Sherwood 16in Wide Drum Sander delivers serious sanding performance in a versatile, workshop-friendly package. Whether you're tackling wide panels or fine finish work, this sander offers the precision and power you need—now with improved usability and optional upgrades for even more functionality.

1125W Motor & Fast 1400 RPM Drum Speed

Don’t be fooled by its compact size—this sander packs a punch. Powered by a 1125W (1.5HP) motor, it maintains consistent torque under load and won’t bog down, even on larger workpieces. With a drum speed of 1400 RPM, you’ll enjoy rapid material removal while achieving smooth, even finishes across the board.

Open Design for Wider Capacity

Thanks to its open-ended drum design, the Sherwood 16in model offers exceptional versatility. It can handle 400mm (16in) capacity in a single pass and up to 800mm (32in) capacity by rotating your workpiece for a second pass. This makes it ideal for both standard and oversized panels, cabinetry components, and furniture parts.

Large 130mm Drum for Extended Sanding Life

The sander features a generously sized 130mm sanding drum, providing:

  • Greater surface coverage per rotation
  • Fewer paper changes
  • Improved sanding consistency over time

Its size gives it a performance edge over smaller-drum competitors in both efficiency and lifespan.

Variable Feed Rate

A variable speed conveyor feed lets you fine-tune sanding speed to match your material, application, and desired finish. Whether you're after aggressive stock removal or a silky-smooth final surface, this sander adjusts to suit your style.

Portable and Stable Design

Mounted on a robust open-leg stand, this unit balances stability and portability. Easily move it around your workshop when needed, then lock it in place to maintain a solid, vibration-free stance during operation.

Expandable with Optional Extension Tables

For larger workpieces, add optional in-feed and out-feed extension tables (sold separately) to increase support and ease material handling.

Efficient Dust Extraction

Dual 100mm (4in) dust ports ensure optimal dust removal during operation, helping maintain a cleaner workspace and better visibility. Connect to a dust extractor for safe, efficient sanding every time.

The drum sander is very impressive. The manual is not.

The conveyer doesn't track straight and the manual tells you to got part 8.3.1 and the manual doesn't have any number parts to it. The conveyor tracking adjustment, conveyor belt tension and sanding drum to conveyor refer you to the same picture. At least 1 thing will be correct.

I worked out how to adjust the drum/conveyor to parallel although did bend a couple of things not having enough things loosened first.

It is not a game changer although it does make the sanding task easier, much easier.

Took delivery of my new drum sander, and found that some of the digital height read out parts were missing. I sent photos to Sam at Timbecon of what I have received and a photo of the page what's in the box and high lighted the missing parts. With in day Sam replied to my email, and asked me to check the drum sander in case the parts were installed or loose somewhere on the machine. I inspected the machine and took photos and the parts were nowhere to be found. I sent the email with the photos and said the parts were not there. With in 1 day of my email I received from Sam saying the missing parts are on the way. I took delivery of the missing parts with in 5 days. Now that is what I call great service. A big thanks to Sam and Timbecon.

Needs bigger motor and better drive belt.

Belt side tracks can cause the drive belt to jam. Is only good for a fine finish, and very slow. This is not a thicknesser but gives a fine finish with fine paper. definitely needs a good vacuum.
