There will be others, but this one, after passing the quiz, will grant you access.About this EventThis course will contain all the information you need to safely and successfully operate the 25"/50" drum sander, as well as how to cut your own 3-inch wide sheet of sand paper for later use and an eraser for cleaning your sand paper.The advantage of having sand paper in bulk is that it saves you tremendous amounts of money. Buying ready-to-wrap sand paper can be costly, so I'll show you how to cut your own and save.Basic operation of the drum sander will be covered. We'll cover how to calibrate the machine, how to use the controls to control power to the drum and the speed of the conveyor belt. Additionally, we'll discuss the warning light that lights up when the machine is under strain and how to prevent this. The types of grits and their purposes will be explained.This course is necessary for those that have never operated a drum sander before and may feel overwhelmed by the tool. Pass the quiz afterwards and you'll have access to the machine. If you've used one of these before and want a tool test, just DM me on Slack or track me down. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/dc57efb0-32a1-11f1-8d5f-efb55bc4316e-rimg-w1200-h318-dcffffff-gmir.jpg As part of this course, you’ll learn:Cutting sand paper – I'll show you how to use a jig to cut your own paper from a larger 100ft roll.

He's been woodworking since the age of six with a 33 year break before picking it back up at 39 years old. At 42 years old, Robert is now a tenured associate professor of mathematics at MSU Denver where he spends his time thinking about woodworking and what to make next. (If you're the dean of my college reading this, I am also thinking about teaching when working!) In other words, Robert really enjoys woodworking, helping others and talking about math.Robert has made lots of small-to-medium sized pieces of furniture, ornamental pieces and plenty of cutting boards and other box-shaped objects. When he's not teaching or in the workshop building and helping, Robert can be found in either a coffee shop, trail, dog shelter or staring off into The Abyss (The Abyss has been staring off into us for just as long, it seems; he's really a nice guy! His name is Geoff.)Robert loves to help, inspire and create with others. If you've got a problem, he's got a solution! If he's got a problem, you'll hear absolutely colorful language coming from him about it. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/wheat-ridge/introduction-to-the-drum-sander-with-robert/100001985775733675 - **Event Categories**: workshops, contests, trips-adventures, nonprofit, dog - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 33.85, max: 33.85, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Wheat Ridge - **state**: CO - **country**: United States - **location**: 9110 W 44th Ave - **lat**: 39.7777121 - **long**: -105.0988138 - **full address**: 9110 W 44th Ave, 9110 West 44th Avenue, Wheat Ridge, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Introduction to the drum sander, with Robert. - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/f7d290323a221920c84dee49d9ad070cc2915bf9d5d2ded866490ea04f5ca5e7-rimg-w1200-h600-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1775580640 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Introduction to the drum sander, with Robert. being held? - **A:** Introduction to the drum sander, with Robert. takes place on Sat, 18 Apr, 2026 at 01:00 pm to Sat, 02 May, 2026 at 04:00 pm at 9110 W 44th Ave, 9110 West 44th Avenue, Wheat Ridge, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Introduction to the drum sander, with Robert.? - **A:** Tickets for Introduction to the drum sander, with Robert. are priced at USD 34 per person.
