The EZ-8 drum sander is a professional floor sanding machine designed for refinishing hardwood floors. Its 8-inch sanding drum removes old finishes, smooths uneven areas, and prepares wood floors for staining or refinishing.
The Clarke American Sanders EZ-8 uses a 1.5 HP motor and an 8-inch sanding drum. The drum operates at 1,800 RPM on the 115-volt model. Clarke lists the machine at approximately 105 pounds.
The EZ-8 is designed for controlled sanding across hardwood flooring. Its externally adjustable leveling control allows the sanding drum to be adjusted for the floor surface. A dust collection system helps capture sanding dust during operation.
This drum sander is useful for removing old finishes and preparing worn hardwood floors for a new finish. It can also help smooth uneven areas and improve the appearance of older wood flooring.
The EZ-8 drum sander is useful for residential and commercial flooring projects. It can be used by flooring professionals, contractors, remodelers, and homeowners completing hardwood floor refinishing work.
Drum sanding is generally used on the main open areas of a hardwood floor. An edge sander can then be used around walls, corners, and other areas the drum sander cannot reach. Using the appropriate equipment for each area can help create a more consistent finished surface.
Before renting, consider the condition of your hardwood floor and the type of finish you need to remove. Choose the appropriate sandpaper for the stage of the project. Clarke also recommends consulting the flooring manufacturer’s requirements to determine whether the equipment is suitable for the flooring.
