    • Consider the radius of the drum relative to the radius you want to achieve.
  2. Only use the lower quarter of the cone or the drum sander when sanding.
  3. Start the machine
    • Use the flat surface of the drum to make the edges even and symmetrical.
    • Use the radius to round broad corners.
