Surface sanders, also called drum sanders, have really come a long way. It’s not that long ago that you’d only find surface sanders in large, commercial shops. Today, sanders have become way more prevalent in small shops, and way more accessible to woodworkers.
SuperMax has been a name in the surface sander world for a long time. I saw the SuperMax 16-32 at a woodworking show, and couldn’t wait to check it out up close. I finally got that chance. Here’s your look at the machine.

In general, I like having a surface sander because it speeds up my woodworking, and does a great job on dust collection. It’s lots faster to feed project parts through a sander than it is to run a random orbit sander over every piece. To be fair you’ll still have to do some random orbit work, but very little is required following a surface sander. And, with a good dust collector, you’ll see very little airborne wood dust.
With regards to the 16-32 in particular, here’s some stuff I really like:
Quick advance on height changes. No need to spin the handwheel a million times. Just use the quick move lever when you’re going from thin to thick to thin.
Folding infeed and outfeed tables. Don’t need ‘em? Fold them out of the way.
IntelliSand. The machine automatically reduces the feed rate on the conveyor if you’re trying to take off too much material per pass.
Easy to sand wide parts. This machine handles material up to 32” wide. It’s very easy to do a reset on the sanding head to allow this.

SANDING
Sanding is a necessary part of woodworking. And there’s more to it than just rubbing sandpaper back and forth on your projects. Learn more by watching more videos on sanding.

Excellent detailed instruction. I received my new 16-32 yesterday!
Just picked one of these up and this was super helpful, thank you!
So glad this inspired future projects!
Always liked the finish from these. Unfortunately I couldn't afford one and at 65 not sure I'll ever set up another shop. Enjoyed the video.
Don't give up!...My shop burned down last Xmas...building a new shop, new equipment...and I'm 70!
i concur with the usefulness, one issue is the feed belt drifting, i am on my 3rd belt, still can't stop it from drifting. other than that i like mine,
Just bought this machine. Poorly designed stand and out feed tables. I’m an engineer by trade so I’m pretty good at following directions and assembling things. However, after following the directions EXACTLY as they are, the bolt holes in the stand do not line up with the bolt holes in the sander base. I had to elongate the holes to get the bolts lined up. Setting up the out feed tables was equally as frustrating. Otherwise, the machine does what it’s advertised to do.
Yeah... I'm an engineer.. and I had the exact same problem as you. I thought I was going crazy.. read the instructions 5 times. They're _WRONG_ for sure
Très bonnes explications. C'est machine sera mon prochain achat. J'aurais aimé voir fonctionner la machine avec des pièces plus petites et courtes.
What you choose to protect hearing from high noise is best for table saw noise
After do a wide board that you have to turn around, do you have to move the lever back up for single pass?
I'm just waiting on mine...its been ordered (the 19-38). I thought you had the 19-38 also?
Is snipe an issue like on planers?
Why is mine leaving burn ridges on the open end???
I'd suggest cleaning or changing your belt, and adjusting the feed rate. Sometimes speeding things up will eliminate burning.

I have a question about the "16-32" thing. Are you sure it isn't 16" drum width and 32" long table/base? I only question it because...do they think I can't multiply 16 by 2? I know that 32 is twice 16. I'd like to know how long the table is in addition to the width of the drum, so...
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Nice machine, but at $1200 it’s not a priority.
Hey, u look different. Oh no MUSTACH.
