Laguna Tools Classic Drum Sander 25-50 - SUPMX-72550-OP
The SuperMax 25-50 Drum Sander is the largest open-ended drum sander on the market. Sand 25″ in a single pass, and up to 50″ in a double pass. Expand the scope of projects you’re able to complete, while increasing speed and consistency in which you’re able to do them!
The 25-50 Drum Sander comes standard on the Closed Mobile Base Stand. The drum is pre-wrapped with 80 grit sandpaper. Additional accessories and sandpaper are available for purchase.
Features
- Simple Alignment Feature – Just one nut will adjust the conveyor to parallel the sanding head, making aligning the conveyor to the sanding head fast and easy
- Indexed Alignment Setting – Has an indexed alignment setting for narrow and wide stock. When sanding stock wider than 25″, the index lever will properly adjust the conveyor for flawless wide sanding
- Drum Will Never Go “Out Of Alignment” – The drum carriage is bolted to the base, preventing any movement or alignment issues
Additional Features
-
INTELLISAND™ Technology: Automatically adjusts conveyor speed based on load
- Prevents gouging, damaging or burning stock
- Provides consistent finish even with varying grain pattern and density
- Greatly increases abrasive planing and dimensioning speed
- Flatness Guarantee: Precision-flattened steel conveyor bed reinforced with four steel cross sections for no “flex” in conveyor, guaranteeing flatness to less than .010″ across the width of the sander
- Abrasive conveyor belt offers the best grip for raw wood, giving you the ability to accommodate stock that is much shorter or thinner
- Patented abrasive attachment system effectively tensions the abrasive wraps, preventing loose abrasive and overlap
- Easiest Access to abrasive fastening system of any drum sander! Extra wide space to access fasteners to eliminate need for special tools
- Self-cooling drum prevents overheating and extends abrasive life
- Tension rollers are adjustable in height and hold down pressure, eliminating snipe
-
Excellent dust extraction as dust cover is formed to shape of drum
- Metal, not plastic, is formed to maximize air flow and dust extraction
- Heavy-duty cast iron construction for strength, rigidity and reduced vibration
- Mobile base allows for stand and machine to be to moved easily

What Our Experts Think
-
Exceptional width capacity: sands up to 25″ in a single pass and 50″ in a double pass, enabling large panel and slab processing.
-
Precision engineered: features a heavy-duty cast-iron frame, extruded aluminum 5″×25″ drum and factory-flat conveyor bed for consistent results.
-
Smart sanding control: built-in technology adjusts conveyor speed under load to prevent burning or gouging, delivering a superior finish across varying grain densities.
-
Time-saving setup: features tool-free abrasive access, indexed alignment settings for wide/narrow stock, and quick height adjustment mechanisms.
-
Shop ready: 1¾ HP drive motor, 1740 RPM drum speed, and 110 V single-phase power make it ideal for serious production use in smaller footprint shops.
Q&A
Q: What is the maximum sanding width?
A: Up to 50″ when using two passes; 25″ in a single pass.
Q: What is the maximum thickness of workpiece?
A: Maximum thickness is 4″ and minimum thickness down to 1/32″.
Q: What drum speed and motor specification?
A: Drum runs at 1740 RPM; drive motor is 1¾ HP on 110 V single-phase.
Q: What are the dust collection requirements?
A: The machine uses one 4″ vacuum port and recommends a minimum of 600 CFM dust extraction.
Q: Is the conveyor adjustable for wider stock?
A: Yes — it has an indexed alignment setting and conveyor bed designed to handle wide stock beyond 25″ with consistent flatness.
Maintenance Tips
-
Clean conveyor and drum after each shift: Remove resin, dust and debris from the drum and conveyor bed to maintain flatness and feed consistency.
-
Check and tension abrasives regularly: Ensure the abrasive wrap system is tight and properly seated to avoid overlap, slippage or finish issues.
-
Lubricate adjustment mechanisms: Keep height adjuster, alignment levers and conveyor bearings lightly lubricated to prevent backlash or drift over time.
-
Monitor feed system & motor load: Watch for excessive load or feed slow-downs; if conveyor struggles, inspect belt, motor torque or blockage in dust extraction.
-
Maintain dust port and extraction path: Clear the 4″ vacuum port and ensure adequate airflow (600 CFM or more) to prevent dust build-up, overheating and maintain safe operation.
