It's hard to convey just how flat a board is with a picture. This one is pretty flat. It's within .005" on each side near the edge. You cannot feel the seams of the glue-up with your fingers, you have to look real hard to see them. I'm happy. Time to build a dust hood now that I know it's going to work correctly.
I did get a spare motor just for the drum sander. But it was all ready to go sitting on top of the saw so I tried it. It worked better than I thought. Belt tension is pretty easy, just lower the arbor. The BT3100 that this is sitting on works with a speed controller. I was able to slow the motor down in order to sand the drum. The glue was getting to hot on the drum and gumming up the sandpaper. Slowing down the rev's help a bunch.
