JET 708404 JBOS-5 5-1/2 Inch 1/2 Horsepower Benchtop Oscillating Spindle Sander with Spindle Assortment, 110-Volt 1 Phase
This model 708404 sander is ideal for sanding contours and those hard to reach spots that other sanders just cant get to. This sander provides a scratch free finish due to the oscillating action of the spindle. Features include a 1/2HP motor, a large cast-iron table that tilts to handle all bevel sanding projects and built in dust collection. Five spindle sizes are included as standard equipment: 2", 1-1/2", 5/8", 1/2", and 1/4" as well as two round and two oblong table inserts. A larger 3" spindle is available as an accessory.
I received this sander recently. My first job was four walnut Queen Anne table legs. This is one heck of a machine. It makes the Delta, Ridgid, etc. machines look and perform like toys! I finished shaping and sanding those walnut legs in less than an hour. I recommend it without any hesitation. You will not be disappointed.It came out of the box in excellent condition and was ready to use in an hour or so (clean & wax the top, check squareness, etc.). The only concern I have is the device to set the 90 degree position for the top is inadequate and impossible to set with any "level" (no pun intended) of assurance. I believe Jet can do better on such a wonderfully engineered machine. Be prepared to spend an additional $200 or so for sanding sleeves. I had to order them directly from Jet. Shame on Amazon for selling a piece of equipment and not selling the sanding sleeves.
