Product Description At JET Tools, we see a future built on great brands, products, and people. In every facet of our business, we leverage the strengths of our global infrastructure to maximize the benefits of all three. Amazon.com JET is a favorite with woodworkers because of power, precision, and quality. Mounted atop a rock-solid closed cabinet are a 6-inch wide belt sander as well as a 9-inch disc sander, each with an angle-capable work table and miter gauge slot--two slots, actually, on the disc sander table for cross-disc work as well as straight-on sanding. Jet took the quality a notch higher on this model by putting a graphite sheet on the belt platen, keeping the temperature down and extending belt life. Tracking is sometimes tricky with belt sanders, so we're glad to see the single tracking adjustment knob and the quick-lock handle that keeps the belt from wandering. Changing belts is a snap--just release the belt tension lever. The 4-inch dust port accepts a standard dust-collection system hose and draws from both sanders, keeping the mess out of your shop and your lungs. The 3/4-horsepower motor runs the belt sander at 2258 rpm and the disc at 1725 rpm, enough to handle big jobs without bogging down. There's even space in the cabinet to store abrasives. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste From the Manufacturer A powerful 3/4 HP motor powers both sanders with plenty of strength to finish even the most demanding applications. The belt sander platen features a graphite sheet , helping the unit run cooler and giving the belt a loner lifespan. A 4-inch dust port on the back allows dust from the belt and the disc to be collected with one hose. A convenient single tracking adjustment knob features a quick lock handle to keep the belt from drifting off track while it's running. Quick change belt tension lever. Heavy duty closed steel stand is made form one piece formed steel, allowing for extra storage for belts and discs.
