SuperMax Tools is the only US manufacturer offering patented features on their drum sanders.

The name SuperMax Tools may be new to you, but the company has been making drum and brush sanders for over 20 years. Formerly made under the Performax brand name, SuperMax Tools offers the only US manufactured drum and brush sanders with patented features setting it apart in a tool category crowded with import machines.

Located in Eagan, Minnesota (suburb of St. Paul / Minneapolis), SuperMax Tools began in June of 2005 after purchasing the rights to manufacture the closed-end sanders (larger than 24”) from the WMH Tool Group. Two former Performax employees, Warren Weber and Bill Schroeder, started SuperMax Tools believing there were better ways to make sanding machines.

                                                        There are many benefits to owning a SuperMax sander.

Two patented features on all our drum sanders set the SuperMax sanders apart from the competition. “IntelliSand” is an auto regulating feature on the conveyor drive that will automatically sense the amp draw on the main motor and slow down the conveyor speed should any high spots or over-feeding of the wood be present. This feature will not only save your abrasive sanding strip from destruction, but may save your wood as well.

The other patented feature is the fastening system for the abrasives strips. The “take-up fastener” will actually pull the abrasive into the self-cooling aluminum drum as the abrasive strip stretches during use.  Changing grit sizes is a quick and easy task when using a SuperMax.

From our effective and effortless abrasive fastening system to our "Intellisand" auto conveyor regulation, we guarantee sanding .010" across the width of all our drum sanders with a flat, uniform and flawless finish. But don't take our word for it.  Read our DARE TO COMPARE and TESTIMONIALS to judge for yourself!

SuperMax Tools is also at the forefront of brushing technology with our wide range of SuperBrush sanders.  At SuperMax, our brush sanders have a wide range of adjustments and brushing media, with quick and easy to change brush heads for multiple applications.  All this at a nominal investment, saving you TIME and MONEY.  You'll wonder why you haven't invested in one of our SuperBrush sanders before!

Our heavy-duty wide-belt sanders come in a full-range of sizes from 25"-52".  SuperMax widebelt sanders come standard with a programmable digital read out and auto thickness guage.  Custom built for durability, productivity and efficiencies equals savings to you, our customer.
