Can a Woodmaster Drum Sander make me money?
Yes it can. To be conservative, let’s say your labor costs are $7 an hour and you average 2 hours a day in sanding time. We multiply that hourly rate by 1.5 to cover benefits, insurance, taxes, etc. and we get $10.50 an hour actual costs. That, times 2 hours a day, means you’re spending $21 a day on sanding. Multiply that by 250 working days a year, and that means you’re spending $5,250 a year on sanding. According to industry estimates, a drum sander can cut sanding time by as much as 90%…so you’ll spend only 10% of the $5,250 labor cost, or just $525! That means you save $4,725 a year in labor costs, money that goes right to your bottom line! That savings translates to $393.75 a month…two to three times the monthly payment on a Woodmaster Drum Sander!
