Description of JET 708432K JDS-12DC 12-Inch 1 Horsepower Open Stand Disc Sander with Dust Canister, 115/230-Volt 1 Phase
Includes JDS-12OS 12-in Disc Sander with Open Stand and DC - 708432KBecause 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

Customer Review: Excellent heavy duty disc sander
Summary: 5 Stars
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 has always had a pretty good product. I have an old Jet 6 inch joiner that was made in Taiwan. (This sanding machine is made in China.) In my experience the Chinese have surpassed the Taiwanese in quality control, although I haven seen or bought any Taiwan machines in a while. The Taiwan machines including my old Jet joiner were a bear to get set up right. It took me about 6 hours to get the joiner set up, including installing the motor and blades, the fence, and truing up the blades, squaring everything up. After that it has been a great machine, totally reliable. The disc sander only required taking it out of the box, IIRC, I think the sanding disc needed to be put on, perhaps. Otherwise it was running in about 10 minutes, and I haven't had to adjust anything on it since.
Jet was bought by a Swiss company, and they also own Powermatic (out of Tennessee) now and some other machinery manufacturers.
If you need a 12 inch disc sander I think you would be very pleased with this one. It has a fan on the back of the disc with a chamber that blows the dust out a chute, and I am able to adapt this to my HD shop vac, instead of the cannister and it is very good at removing the dust.
The plate on mine is true, the table is cast iron and the machine is heavy, very heavy for one person to lift. It has a brake you just pull a lever to stop the momentum, if that is desired. I have no quirks that I have found that need to be changed.
I see where someone has had two bad machines. This can happen, but in my time selling equipment, it was rare, and I am sure this is frustrating, especially when the item has to be shipped back and all. I have just not found this to be the case with the Jet tools I used to sell, they rarely, if at all came back, of course they didn't make this tool then. But mine is very sweet.
Hope this was helpful.
