Thanks for the thorough review! I just ordered the same machine. If possible could you reply with the height of the base without the machine mounted on it. As I wait for delivery, I'd like to build a mobile stand with drawers and casters. Thanks again!
Thank you for the thorough video. I’m debating if I want to upgrade my current disc/belt sander or get this. I don’t sand long things often but the price is the same as a good belt/disc combo and it may be more versatile. Do you find yourself using this, your 12” disc or your 6x48” belt for sanding to the line?
I definitely use this Jet 6” edge sander over my disk sander for most things. And with the table that you can use on the end of the edge sander, it’s easy to sand to curved lines. Thanks for watching.
Can you share how far the platten is from the wall when pushed as far back as possible? Thanks! It Drives me nuts how little dimension info Jet provides for their tools.
Sorry for the delayed response. If you push the sander to the wall, the back of the sanding guard is 5” from the wall. That means the 45 degree bracket will be touching the wall. I hope that helps.
Two things. As below the Mitre gauge goes to the right of the table. Secondly when you were rounding the end on the wood you mustn’t go beyond about 80 degrees or it will almost certainly dig in and tear the belt, jar your fingers and go flying off to the right. I guess you have by now found that out. It applies using the Mitre fence also . Although you can go up to 90 degrees, which you wil want to do a lot. The wood has to drag on the belt. I hope that makes sense. The Mitre gauge must be locked tight. It prolong belt life enormously if you use a belt dresser. Without it the belt clogs up after about two passes. With it, it could last months. If you have an assistant then get him to use the dresser as you sand. The edge sanders is one of my most used tools. Don’t sand iroko with it. It is incredibly irritant. Even with dust collection you will get a layer of wood dust throughout your workshop probably.
Thanks for making this. In your opinion, is there any reason I wouldn't be able to use/mount this unit on a stout bench instead of using the included base unit? Thanks!
Josh, There would be no reason that I could see. But whatever it sits on must be pretty stout as you say. But don't forget ergonomics and safety if you do that. Safety should always come first.
Hi Eric, yes it performs as I expected it to. It's a great edge sander and if you wait for Jet to issue their 10% off sales 2-3 times per year, you can save some $ in the purchase. It's fast and a great way to flatten a straight edge or to round over a corner. Takes the wood down very quickly. I am pleased with it.
In all due respect: you were showing the miter gauge reversed from how it is supposed to be used. Here is why: when sanding, the belt is trying to force the stock towards the right. You need the miter gauge to block this, regardless of the miter's angle. For whatever it's worth.
pat dee The Mitre gauge should not be set beyond 90 degrees or the wood will dig into the belt. You must stroke the cat the way the hair lies.. The sander similarly must stroke the wood the right way. Think about a vector diagram of the forces.
Hi Pat, I know what you mean and you are correct. The video was already made and uploaded. The wood is first with the miter gauge behind it supporting it (miter gauge on the right and wood on the left when standing in front of the sander).
@@jimbo2629 @Jim Bo Au Contraire! The miter gauge is designed to be used in both + and - degrees while sanding. Otherwise there would be NO need for a miter gauge. As I said above, this miter gauge is ALSO used to keep the sanding inertia from moving stock to the right when end standing; which could be dangerous in certain situations. Thus the miter gauge stops this.

Frank, thanks a million, I have exactly the same and you gave me the missing info of this tool. Be safe, cheers!
Thanks for watching and glad the video was some help to you.

Thanks for watching. The base is integrated with the sander. So it’s 24” from ground to the seam of the integrated base.

Obrigado e obrigado por assistir meu vídeo.
Great video. It helped me and my coworkers build ours.👍👍
AJ Skroch Glad that it helped you and your team AJ. Thanks for watching and hope you subscribe.

Hi Jim, thanks for the feedback.
Thanks for sharing, excellent video

Hi Josh. You will not have any issue making your own base. There is nothing really special about the one that came with it.
Josh, There would be no reason that I could see. But whatever it sits on must be pretty stout as you say. But don't forget ergonomics and safety if you do that. Safety should always come first.
Frank..now that you have had this for some time, does it perform as expected? Great video! Im am looking to buy this machine if it is
standing up.

Will this thing build my table?
It sure will!
I want one!
I know what you mean Bobby. Been waiting to get one for years, but so glad to add it to my sanding machine tools.
