Overview
Sanding stock on a conveyor table, this JET drum sander feeds work under an oscillating drum fitted with a pre-installed medium-grit abrasive strip. The machine stands on the included stand assembly.
Anyone smoothing glued panels or rough-sawn boards gets a machine that feeds material automatically. Its weight and its circuit demands are what a small shop gives up for that capability.
Who it's for
Hobby and small professional shops that sand a lot of wide stock will use the conveyor and oscillation daily. Garages wired for only a light-duty outlet, or buyers expecting a handheld solution, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Conveyor table feeds work steadily
- Oscillating drum spreads wear
- Abrasive strip pre-installed
- Stand assembly included
- Heavy, two-box delivery
- Needs a dedicated 20A circuit
- Maximum stock thickness not listed
Performance notes
The drum sands while the conveyor pulls the board through at a steady rate, and the oscillating motion moves abrasive across the drum so wear spreads out. Final flatness depends on the grit, feed speed and how evenly the stock is fed.
