Kobalt doesn't make a drum sander. Their sanding lineup is limited to portable tools (random orbit sander and corded belt sander). For drum sanding, specialty brands sold through independent woodworking retailers are the standard.
Kobalt Corded (120V AC) Platform
Drum sanders are stationary AC-powered tools. Kobalt doesn't offer one. Lowe's stocks WEN benchtop tools, including drum sanders, as a budget alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Lowe's sell any drum sanders?
Yes. Lowe's carries WEN drum sanders, including the 6510T (10-inch, around $300). They don't carry Jet or SuperMax in stores, but those are available online through specialty retailers like Woodcraft and Rockler.
Do I need a drum sander for woodworking?
Not for basic projects. A random orbit sander and a belt sander cover 90% of home woodworking. A drum sander becomes useful when you're thicknessing thin stock, flattening glue-ups wider than your planer, or processing large quantities of boards to a consistent thickness.
