12" Disc Sander w/ Open Stand & DC Canister filter efficiently filters particles down to 2 microns andrequires only a quarter turn to remove and clean with ease Built-in impeller behind a heavy-duty steel disc Powerful 1HPTEFC, 115V motor Convenient brake to quickly slow the disc
Because shop disc sanders are often used for quick little jobs, they tend to not get hooked up to a dust collector with every use. This new model from JET solves that problem by including its own built-in high airflow dust collection impellor and 2-micron canister filter. Any time you turn it on--whether for 15 minutes of serious sanding or 30 seconds of cleaning up a saw cut--your dust is collected and your shop air stays clean. The machine runs on a 1-horsepower, totally enclosed, fan-cooled motor that provides ample power for any sanding task you come up with. It has a hefty 12-inch steel disc, with a manual brake for quickly slowing it down and stopping. You also get a generous cast-iron table that tilts from 90 to 45 degrees, along with a miter gauge and circle jig. All in all, this is a great sander at a great price that will provide a long life of service in your shop. --Brian Trinen

Good Piece of Machinery:
I've been very pleased with this setup. The unit, dust cannister and stand were shipped very quickly and carefully wrapped on their own pallet to prevent damage. The sander runs true, smooth and is much quieter than I expected. The built in blower and dust cannister collect almost all the dust. That really surprised me. I had anticipated possible hooking this unit up to my 2hp dust collecting system. I hoped it would be ok without resorting to such system hook up so I wouldn't have to go around the shop... more info
Awesome and Quiet:
Others have discussed the merits of this high quality product for those wanting a stand alone disc and belt sander. Whisper quiet and easy to use. No complaints at this time. Everything was well packaged as usual with Jet and I am sold on them and powermatic for all my tools. There are less expensive models available, I tried a couple but this is the one for me. I added a mobile base using the lift casters from wood craft and they work very well. B
Excellent heavy duty disc sander:
I bought this machine a couple years ago when Jet first came out with it. At that time they sold this model without the stand and dust canister, which is the model I bought, otherwise it is the same. It is a big industrial feeling machine, true, quiet, and strong. Not like the little hobby sanders you see for about $100, that often have a lot of plastic parts and an aluminum table. I have done professional woodworking for a dozen or more years and used to sell woodworking machinery. Jet... more info
Just Plain Sorry:
I am awaiting the shipment of number 3. The first arived damaged in shipment and missing a bunch of parts. The packaging was in such bad shape it couldn't be reused. Number 2 the box was in great shape but the sanding face plate had a good 1/4" bend in it. So I took the 2 and made one. Well it lasted about an hour and the motor started making noise and shaking. Sure hope the third time is the charm. If not I will get a Grizzly.
