Syracuse spindle sander replacement drum

[andy b.]

i have an old Syracuse oscillating spindle sander. the 2" sanding drum is on a 8" long 7/8" diameter arbor. i would like to get several different sized drums but can't find anything listed anywhere. i guess i could make some adapters up on a lathe, but what type of drum do the sanders use on the ones i see advertised with various drum sizes? i can't seem to find the drum portions for sale anywhere, just the replacement sanding cylinder that fits over them. or am i missing something as to how the various drum sizes are mounted and used????

You might want to try places like Western Roller and see if they can make them.

You might also want to ask this over on the OWWM forum.

You could call Porter-Cable but I think by now they've long forgotten that the once owned Syracuse.

Or was it that Syracuse bought Porter-Cable?
