Item : B00005A3GW Customer Reviews Review by .. G. Allen Clapper (South East USA) I have been wanting an oscillating sander for quite a while. I could have settled for a less expensive one but after purchasing a JET table saw I am hooked. No more craftsman for me. My only wish is that there was a way that you could also use this unit as a router. This would save space in the garage. Good Product by .. A. Heady (Honeydew, CA) Received the Sander in great condition, however the quality control at the factory is poor. The table was not square to the spindle. I did some checking and found the table mounting brackets were not drilled and tapped at the same height. I ordered replacement brackets and they were the same as the originals. I fixed it buy installing some brass shim stock under the bracket that the hole was low on and this fixed the table. The spindle insert storage rack slots were also to narrow to insert the spindle table inserts. Jet provided me with a can of paint so I can file them wider and repaint the mount. I think the QA at the factory needs to be looked at. The tool as a whole works very well. Needs more storage space & better dust collection. by .. K. Miller () I use my spindle sander a lot, and it works great. My biggest problems are: 1. The dust collection simply does not work - at all. I have to stop every few minutes and vacuum off the table surface and under the table (I have mine attached to an 1100 CFM dust collector). I'd like to see some dust collection slots in the plates and a shroud around the bottom of the table. Right now a 2" port just sits next to the hole under the table. If you use the right insert, there's almost no gap and no way for the sawdust to get under the table. Oops. 2. The unit needs more storage. 2a. Everyone I know buys the 2" & 3" spindles, but there aren't enough holes to hold them. So you always end up playing 'where's the spindle'. 2b. Same with the table inserts - you end up with one or two too many and no place to put them. 2c. You have to use 2 wrenches to mount new spindles, and it would be nice to have a mounting tray or something on the sander to hold them. Velcro will work, but it's not great. 3. You have to use 2 wrenches to change spindles. Hello? Spindle locks? On the up side: a. plenty of power, it's never bogged down. b. almost completely silent - well balanced and designed c. rock solid and no vibration or shifting d. immaculate finish and fit. (aka the normal Jet quality). I'd highly recommend this unit. waste of money by .. James Condino (Asheville, nc) I originally had the Delta Boss spindle sander that worked great with daily use for five years and purchased this one as an upgrade model. I would NEVER reccommend this to anyone- it is a poorly made piece of Chinese junk!!!!!! The spindle removal system using two contrived wrenches with little working space was clearly designed by somone who will never use the unit. The individual spindles are some of the poorest quality steel that I have ever seen- two of them bent out of balance within the first month of use; all of them rusted within two months of purchase for no reason. The threaded spindle port was not cut clean out of the box and never worked correctly from the start- it appeared crossthreaded and never tightened down fully. The unit did not come with the 3" spindle - it was an extra upgrade. The dust collection stinks- basically, there is none- a small hose port in the back with no sealed system. The half priced Delta unit works FAR better. I have a lot of nice tools and treat them all very gentle and delicately. This tool fell apart from very gentle use- I wasted almost $450 when it was all totaled and am close to throwing this in the garbage just to get rid of the frustration of having it around. Great by .. Paul Holdeman Southlane Bowling (Tennessee) This Jet spindle sander works great. I wish I had bought it a lot sooner
