Jet Benchtop Dis and Belt Sander
Several years ago I purchased a Ryobi BD4600 Disc/Belt Sander using it for small hobby and art projects without any problems but as time went on people started seeing my work which turned into a customer base and requests grew to bigger projects. The Ryobi is a fine sander and like one of the reviews I read "it's about time, I stopped buying cheaper sanders every time, spent some money and bought a great sander" The Ryobi just didn't have the horse power to do some of the projects I was building. For several weeks I read, interviewed other artist and watched demo's on various sanders and I came to the conclusion the Jet 708595 would do the job.
Now since I have used and put the sander through several tasks, I'm very pleased in the say it performs, and sands. The sander is heavy duty which I like and balanced and easy to use.
I would recommend this sander to any one whether your doing around the house or professional jobs.
Overall a nice machine, room for improvement
Overall, this is a nice machine. This sander has a nice steel guard that covers the forward edge of the belt, it is attached by four screws, and is easy to remove for radius sanding. The packaging of this sander is mediocre, the first sander I receive had a hole ion the box and the disc was severely bent. Amazon issued a pick up to ups and sent me another entire unit. The second unit's box looked okay, but again the sanding disc was warped, and easy 3/16 inch in places, less than the first bent disc, but still not usable. Rather than deal with Amazon, I called Jet, and they promptly sent me a replacement disc. If you can find a local supplier, you would be better off avoiding the shipping.
This sander is a good improvement over the Delta 6x48 sander I had that burned out. It comes with a heavy iron table for the disc sander, this table is mounted using a post. Although it is nice to have an iron table, it is a bit heavy for the post mounting, and is not difficult to see it deflect downward when additional weight is applied. Jet might do better to go to an aluminum table, or redesign the post mounting so it is more rigid. The rest of the machine seems really solid, and has no lack of power. The belts track well, and the machine runs smoothly.
Belt sander meets all of my needs
I'm a hobbyist who has done a few commercial projects and am quite happy with this sander. Its very heavy-duty not only in its power but also the construction of its base. The machine has more than enough power and with the 80-grit belt it came with, I was asking myself why I hadn't purchased it before this time. I zipped through some corner and end pieces with very little elbow grease needed. (I decided to spend more money for the Jet as opposed to saving money on a Delta based on reviews I've read and again am quite happy with my decision.)
My only slight knock against the machine is that the on/off power button is located on the opposite side of the machine from the belt sander in its horizontal position which makes it cumbersome to turn off.
