Tools and Hardware Reviews of JET 708598K JSG-6CS 6-Inch/12-Inch 1-1/2 Horsepower Belt/Disc Sander, 115/230-Volt 1 Phase

Customer Review: 4 years with this and still great.
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought one in 2004 to help with my metal fabrication shop. It has been great for shaping stainless steel tubing to create motorcycle turbo manifolds. It's heavy and heavy duty and has plenty of power for me. The closed cabinet helps keep the extra belts and discs clean and ready for use. I highly recommend it. David

An addition about the tracking. My unit did need some occasional adjustment on start up but what I noticed was it was mostly after shifting the machine on my uneven floor. I recently ordered some 3M resin bonded abrasive for stainless and once I adjusted the tracking, I have fired it up probably over 300 times without an adjustment as of(10-24-2008). The adjustment is very easy as well. Once adjusted for the first time you can turn the front knob in or out to fine tune it. It hasn't needed more than 1/16 turn either way.

I still give it a 5 star. Thanks, David
