Very good review. I'm happy to see you got something you want. And really glad to hear you sold the snowblower. Good news. Will look forward to your next woodworking project. Take care.
Thanks. I found a nice young man with a flat blacktop drive and gave him a good deal after explaining all the problems. Glad to have that out of my life. Have a Merry Christmas.
I have the exact same sander and couldn't be more pleased. The one thing I did was to purchase a very small scissors jack to put under the table and use that to raise and lower the table....as trying to keep the table level while tightening the knobs can be a little fussy. Also, keep and eye on your 90 degrees between the table and platen as with a lot of use, it can move a half a degree or so...no matter how tight I have the handle locked down. Congrats....you will love this machine!
Thanks. I plan on picking up a scissor jack or small hydraulic jack next trip to harbor freight. I am thinking a fixed adjustable stop for the 90 degree position because that lock lever is in a strange position and as you say hard to lock without shifting the angle. JET did a nice on this machine. Thanks for watching.
Now that I have used it, I should have bought one years ago. It is kind of hard to sneak in when it is delivered by a truck that large. Thanks for watching.
I have the same sander. Had it for a few years now. Dust collection works pretty good with the shroud closed. Using the spindle with the shroud open it makes a huge dust cloud. Other than that, I love mine. Great video! Enjoy your new tool.
Thanks. I think it will see a lot of use. I was thinking a clear plastic cover may help with the shroud swung back. JET makes a nice machine for the price. Thanks for watching.
This is it for new machines. Just have to upgrade the router table and sell the radial arm saw I never use. It is nice to finally have some decent machines. Thanks for watching.
Gave a guy with a flat blacktop driveway a good deal. Glad to have that out of my sight. This is one of those tools that is more of a want then need so it is a toy.😀
I have been very happy with this machine. This type of sander is a really useful addition to a woodworking shop. Hope you enjoy yours. Thanks for watching.
The driver usually does not destroy your shipment it is the workers on the cross dock moving it from one trailer to another, one trailer from the shipper, to the trailer that delivers in your town
UPS freight is the worst. I watched the driver totally destroy the plywood crate my jointer came in trying to turn it and get it to the lift gate. Luckily he only damaged the paint on the machine. You are right because the dock workers should have placed it on a pallet he could get the Jack under. This driver was one of the most courteous, friendly, and professional drivers I have ever met. Thanks for watching.
That's pretty good, hopefully that works well for you for many years, and hopefully the guy you sold the snow blower to is able to fix it and make god use of it. That should make an extra nice Christmas for you.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 Probably a supply issue during the pandemic. I always have to call them for some reason or another, but they're great about sending a part out no charge.
If you ever have the time and resources, and of course if that doesn't butt up against some state or local law (lot's of those in US, i found out with perplexion), dig up your driveway fill it with coarse grade rock and then put back gravel (i think that's gravel, right?) on top. That way, water will drain below long before there's chance for any mud to form.
That has been on my mind. When they put it in they only used about a foot of item 4 over the clay so moisture is always pushing up through it with freeze / thaw cycles with no place to drain. Thanks for watching.
No. I wouldn't have a sander like this without it. Some companies still make non oscillating ones if that's what you need. It's my favorite tool in the shop. Thanks for watching.
The grizzly was overkill for my needs and twice the price with a 1 year warranty. It came down to the JET or Laguna. I bought the JET because it comes with a 5 year warranty and I wanted to try out a piece of JET equipment. They did a good job with this one. Thanks for watching.
You could have one of those worm and half gear setups on these, i wish i could remember the name of the channel, a metal worker who does custom work, he modified one of these (or similar, but it was a Jet) with such a setup. I think he used a Makita setup, but i might be wrong, i saw the video quite a while ago.
That would be very nice. I don't plan on pivoting it much and think a fixed stop should work for me for now. Now you have me thinking. Thanks for watching.
It's my favorite tool. No problems and very handy. I actually just ordered a Jet 1836 drum sander to replace my old 24 inch sander because of the quality of this machine. Thanks for watching.
Because I had issues with the Grizzly planer when I bought it and decided to try different brands. Then I purchased the Laguna bandsaw that had an improperly machined casting and vibrations which took weeks to get replacement parts to fix. So this time I took a chance on JET and I think it was a good choice. Plus JET offers a 5 year warranty on this machine. Thanks for watching
Another very nice addition to your shops. Enjoy !
This was more of a want then need. I think it will see a lot of use. Thanks for watching.
I have the JET Superslide Hybrid Table saw / Cabinet saw and it's the best tool in my entire collection. Love JET equipment. Excellent purchase
My first wood working machine from JET and it seems well made. It is nice to get a machine that works nice right out of the box. Thanks for watching.
Interesting. Never seen one of those before so your video was a nice introduction to one. Thanks for sharing. Happy Holidays!
It is one of those tools that you don't really need, but is nice to have. Happy Holidays to you and your family. Thanks for watching.

Nice sander, Jet does make quality products, enjoy it.
They definitely did a nice job with this sander. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the video! Im buying this machine and you answered all my questions..Awesome real world video!
I should have bought this years ago. My favorite tool now and not one problem. Thanks for watching.
Nice review. I have to admit that tool is on my hit list. All I have to do is figure out how to sneak it into my shop.
Now that I have used it, I should have bought one years ago. It is kind of hard to sneak in when it is delivered by a truck that large. Thanks for watching.
Nice review!

Nice piece of equipment
I think it will see quite a bit of use. JET makes a nice affordable machine. Thanks for watching.
Expensive wonderful toy. Enjoy I will dream about getting one
It is one of those tools that is more of a want then need tool. I think it will see a lot of use. Thanks for watching
I am so jealous! But...…. I have neither the space or the money to have such a great machine!!
This is more of a want then need machine but I think it will see a lot of use. Thanks for watching.
great sander. I got a similar model made by Bernardo. Served me very well
It is extremely handy and totally trouble free so far. Should have bought it years ago. Thanks for watching.
Pretty sweet setup you have, at this rate youre gonna need a bigger shop soon.
This is it for new machines. Just have to upgrade the router table and sell the radial arm saw I never use. It is nice to finally have some decent machines. Thanks for watching.
Nice new toy, and you got rid of the snow blower!
Gave a guy with a flat blacktop driveway a good deal. Glad to have that out of my sight. This is one of those tools that is more of a want then need so it is a toy.😀
Very good video. I just ordered one of these.
I love mine. Should have bought one years ago. I have found some good deals on belts from Ebay. Thanks for watching.
I have now owned this sander for about 3 days . It does a fantastic job both vertical and horizontal....highly recommended!
I just ordered the HAMMER HS950 but this surely looks quality too.
I have been very happy with this machine. This type of sander is a really useful addition to a woodworking shop. Hope you enjoy yours. Thanks for watching.

Nice boots
It's muddy outside. My Walmart specials. 😃 Thanks for watching.
شكرا لك . لقد استمتعنا بالمشاهده
Thanks for watching.
That's pretty good, hopefully that works well for you for many years, and hopefully the guy you sold the snow blower to is able to fix it and make god use of it. That should make an extra nice Christmas for you.
Thanks. Ariens replaced the drive disc and he has a flat blacktop driveway so it should work for him. Thanks for watching.
They never put the red and black tape trim on the base on mine. I just bought this thing about a month ago. Every jet tool I have has this trim.
Wonder if they removed them to save money or red and black stripes offended someone. Contact them. I love this sander.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 Probably a supply issue during the pandemic. I always have to call them for some reason or another, but they're great about sending a part out no charge.
Is the sander still holding up? Others have complained about the belt constantly needing adjusted. Is this true?
No problems at all yet. The original JET belt was junk. Buy good belts and they track fine. Thanks for watching.
If you ever have the time and resources, and of course if that doesn't butt up against some state or local law (lot's of those in US, i found out with perplexion), dig up your driveway fill it with coarse grade rock and then put back gravel (i think that's gravel, right?) on top.

Thanks for the review. I am just getting mine set up. Have you found any use at all for the fence that comes with it ?
When you lay it flat the fence keeps a board steady. Thanks for watching.
Are you able to lock the oscillating feature? It doesn't seem like it will be useful to me.
No. I wouldn't have a sander like this without it. Some companies still make non oscillating ones if that's what you need. It's my favorite tool in the shop. Thanks for watching.
Other than price, was there a reason you chose the Jet sander over a comparable Grizzly? Thanks for sharing.
The grizzly was overkill for my needs and twice the price with a 1 year warranty. It came down to the JET or Laguna. I bought the JET because it comes with a 5 year warranty and I wanted to try out a piece of JET equipment. They did a good job with this one. Thanks for watching.

I think he used a Makita setup, but i might be wrong, i saw the video quite a while ago.
That would be very nice. I don't plan on pivoting it much and think a fixed stop should work for me for now. Now you have me thinking. Thanks for watching.
😊
Thanks for watching.
So one year on are you still happy with it?
Any gripes?
It's my favorite tool. No problems and very handy. I actually just ordered a Jet 1836 drum sander to replace my old 24 inch sander because of the quality of this machine. Thanks for watching.
is that a counterweight on the back of the tractor?
Yes, it is a box with several hundred lbs of stone in it to keep the tractor stable. Thanks for watching.
Nice looking machine . Do not get you beard caught in it. lol take care
Hopefully I will catch that on video. Jet did a good job on this machine. Thanks for watching.
The driver is my dad
Tell him thanks for the great service for me. He really takes pride in his job. Small world, thanks for watching.
Just curious, but why didn't you go with the Grizzly version since you're primarily a Grizzly user?
Because I had issues with the Grizzly planer when I bought it and decided to try different brands. Then I purchased the Laguna bandsaw that had an improperly machined casting and vibrations which took weeks to get replacement parts to fix. So this time I took a chance on JET and I think it was a good choice. Plus JET offers a 5 year warranty on this machine. Thanks for watching
