Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is what a disc sander ought to be (Of course at twice the cost of the comeptition it BETTER be) I looked
at Harbor Freight, Grizzly, Delta, and Shop Fox before finally
deciding on this one. It costs a bundle, but is smoooooooth,
well constructed (weighs over 100lbs) and built to tight
enough tolerances that you actually are cutting what you intend
to cut. It is a pleasure to use. This machine is for the
semi pro to professional shop user. If you want a sander that
just grinds wood or metal, then go buy the Harbor Freight, or Grizzly, they cost over a hundred bucks less. However if you want a machine that just sits there and hummmmmms, and quickly sands exactly where you apply the material then get the Jet.. It will outlast 3 of the "generic" Chinese sanders (Jet is also made in China, but in one of the most modern, well equiped factories in all of Asia)
My only quibbles are minor. One of the sanding plate adjustment
knobs was broken when I got it, it will be replaced.
Also the sanding disc that comes with the unit WILL ABSOLUTLY
NOT stick to the sanding plate. I tried using a heat gun, I
tried pushing, I tried saying very very bad words, nothing.
Fortunatly I had some good old Harbor Freight sanding discs
on hand....That is it in a nutshell. If you want the best
buy the Jet, if you dont want to spend the bucks, and will settle for a lesser machine then Harbor Freight, Grizzly, Delta,
and Shop Fox are out there waiting for you...
