Product Description

Introducing the JET JWDS-1836 Drum Sander from JET. The 1.75-horsepower motor delivers plenty of power to handle just about any sanding task. The innovative tool-less parallelism system keeps adjustments simple. The worktable is easily positioned by a turn of the parallelism dial. The variable-speed rate permits you to choose the optimal feed rate for a full range of projects, while the Sandsmart feature continuously monitors the load on the drum motor to prevent an overload situation. The mirrored design of the dust hood optimizes dust collection preventing chips and dust from getting between your work-piece and the finish. The JWDS-1836 Drum Sander delivers everything you need for an effortless finish.

Good quality although some serious issues.
I bought this unit from Amazon and shipping was prompt. The unit arrived in 2 boxes and the delivery crew placed it in my garage/ shop. One smaller box contained the stand and another for the main unit. It was packaged well with no damage. I assembled the base and that only took 15 - minutes. The sanding unit is heavy and I took it out myself though I would recommend two people for this. I placed Kreg casters on the base instead of the rubber feet as I need to have this mobile in my shop. The base bent at the wheel attachment point and is now useless to roll around. I will have to order a shop base and install it on that (unexpected cost). The unit came pre-installed with 80 grit paper and I proceeded to sand some glue ups of the black walnut panels I have for a project. 10 panels in total and the unit did a fine job at getting the glue joints flat. The glue ups were pretty good so I did not have to dimension the panels, just get them super flat. The one paper did all the panels, both sides. I then went to go to 120 grit with the paper I purchased from Jet. None of the paper fit the drum despite checking that the part numbers were correct. I measured the roll and it was indeed shorter than the factory installed one. I called Jet and they did not know the length so i could not confirm it though the new paper does not fit all. They said they would need to check with quality control and get back to me, they never did. I have to follow up with them. Hopefully I will be able to get the right paper soon so I don't have to sand a bunch a panels by hand. If Jet can make a stand that I can place casters on it directly and get the right abrasive I would give it 5 stars otherwise I'd say don't buy it unless they can figure out the abrasive issue. I'll post some pictures soon.
