Both are TEFC (totally enclosed fan cooled) motors designed to operate in a potentially
dusty environment.
A safety keyed On/Off switch with overload protection controls the sanding drum and is
front-mounted for operator's convenience. An infinitely variable-speed control on the
conveyor belt produces the ultimate finish at a rate from 0 to 10 feet per minute.
Intelligent Conveyor
The tough conveyor belt provides a 21 3/8”-long by 16”-deep
surface that supports and moves the wood beneath the sanding
drum. That generous surface makes working with most stock sizes
easy and accurate. We also offer extension tables (See the
Accessories section) for larger work.
Having total control over the depth of cut, feed rate and grit makes
the JET 16-32 Plus Drum Sander exceptionally flexible. We also
added our Sandsmart™ control that continuously monitors the load
on the drum and automatically regulates the speed of the conveyor
motor to maintain the highest feed rate while reducing burning of
the wood or abrasive. A red light near the conveyor speed dial lets
you know when the Sandsmart
™
has taken over.
The infinite variable
conveyor speed control is
augmented by our
exclusive Sandsmart™
technology that helps to
prevent burning of the
wood or abrasive.
Patented conveyor belt TRACKERS™ eliminates the need for
manual belt adjustments. Independent tracking adjusters on either
side of the conveyor are easily accessible and simple to use
should tracking adjustments become necessary. For example, a
new conveyor belt may need slight tracking or tensioning
adjustments after it breaks in.
A precision-flattened reinforced steel conveyor bed holds the
stock flat during sanding. A reliable no-give power feed belt insures a consistent, smooth
sanding action to provide the finest results.
Easy to use belt adjusters
make compensating for
belt stretch simple, fast and
tool-free.
Precision Drum
The drum is
specifically designed
for smooth running and
the dissipation of heat.
At the heart of the JET 16-32 Plus Drum Sander is the sanding
drum. This 5”-diameter by 16”-long precision-machined and
balanced extruded aluminum drum is self-cooling to help prevent
heat-related damage of the wood or sanding strip under load. The
sanding drum turns on sealed and permanently lubricated 1”-
diameter ball bearings that insure a long, smooth operating life.
