Curious if anyone can describe why they like or dislike using pneumatic drum sanders. I have an option of picking one up for free from a friend. But it is a large dedicated tool with dual drums. Quality machine but I’m not sure what I’d use it for. Big foot print for the shop and If I won’t use it, then I don’t want to take it and would rather see it go to another friend.
 
They're very popular for compound curved pieces such as cabriole legs and such. I wouldn't pass up the opportunity to own one but all depends on the type of work you do.

Got any pics?
 
I've had one for years, get tool! On the right side, there is a 4" pneumatic drum, on the let is a 6" wide brush sander. for sanding contours and odd shaped piece, it's hard to beat. Just be aware, the these things are pretty impressive sawdust creators, so have some kind of a dust collector set up.
The brand name of mine is "Sand Rite".
