We also sell sandpaper.
Our Silver-Line SL-8 drum floor sander rental, also known as a belt sander, is designed for heavy sanding of solid wood flooring. A drum sander cuts through the wood, removing multiple layers of wood as well as any varnish, to give you a new surface to refinish.
The spin speed, coupled with the weight of the machine (about 100 pounds), makes drum sanders aggressively powerful — and challenging for beginners to use.
These machines are best for floors with deep scratches or gouges or warped boards — floors that need a lot of help to get back to their former glory.
Drum sanders can gouge marks or depressions in the floor if you stop moving for even a moment. Moving continuously at a steady pace and following the grain of the wood is key to getting a good result. Beginners might consider practicing on a test surface before attempting the real thing.
Drum sanders are bulky and can’t go everywhere. Since they’re rounded, they can’t get close to walls. You’ll need an edge floor sander to access floor edges and to sand around baseboards.
We require a deposit to reserve equipment. Tax will be added to the price. Contact us today for a quote.
