Cut your sanding time up to 75 percent with the JET 629004K
16-32 Plus 16-Inch 1-1/2 HP Open Stand Drum Sander, 110-Volt 1
Phase. This innovative tool elevates the primary woodworking
tasks of sanding from long and slow to short and fast. Ideal for
small commercial shops, this tool can be used in lieu of a
planer, and it provides ample capacity to handle both small and
large jobs with ease.
Precision Drum for Long, Smooth Operating Life
At the heart of the 16-32 Plus is the sanding drum, which is
specifically designed for smooth running and the dissipation of
heat. Measuring 16 inches in length with a five-inch diameter,
this precision-machined and balanced extruded aluminum drum is
self-cooling to help prevent heat-related damage of the wood or
sanding strip under load. For added peace of mind, the sanding
drum turns on sealed and permanently lubricated one-inch-diameter
ball bearings for a long, smooth operating life.Additionally, the
drum height and downward roller pressure are both user adjustable
to virtually eliminate snipe.
Handles a Wide Range of Material Sizes
The 16-32 Plus handles a wide range of material sizes quickly and
easily. It can sand materials as thick as three inches, as thin
as 1/32 inch, and anywhere in-between. Unlike planers--which
often have a minimum length requirement of a foot or more--the
16-32 Plus can safely handle pieces as short as 2-1/4 inches.
The open frame design also lets you sand pieces measuring up to
32 inches wide by making two passes. Additionally, a camber
adjustment makes it easy to prevent "witness marks" when making
two passes on wide boards.
Infinitely Variable Feed Rate for Flexibility
The infinitely variable feed rate and the wide range of sanding
grits available combine to handle fast rough work or fine sanding
on any species of wood. At the same time, the generous, stable
conveyor platform makes turning material very accurate while
smoothing the surface at the same time.
Dual Motors for Power and Control
The 16-32 Plus comes equipped with two high quality motors: a
1-1/2 HP, (rated using continuous duty cycle) 1 phase, 110-volt,
14 Amp motor that spins the sanding drum at a consistent 1725
RPM, and a direct drive 43 in./lbs. torque motor that drives the
conveyor belt separately. Both are TEFC (totally enclosed fan
cooled) motors designed to operate in a potentially dusty
environment.
For added protection, a safety keyed on/off switch with overload
protection controls the sanding drum and is front-ed for
operating convenience. And an infinitely variable-speed control
on the conveyor belt produces the ultimate finish at a rate from
zero to 10 feet per minute.
Patented Trackers for Quick and Easy Adjustments
Jet's patented conveyor belt "trackers" eliminate the need for
manual belt adjustments, ensuring precise results. Independent
tracking adjusters on either side of the conveyor are easily
accessible and simple to use should tracking adjustments become
necessary--as when a new conveyor belt may need slight tracking
or tensioning adjustments after it breaks in.
Reinforced Steel Conveyor Bed and No-Give Power Feed for
Consistency
A precision-flattened reinforced steel conveyor bed holds the
stock flat during sanding. A reliable no-give power feed belt
provides a consistent, smooth sanding action to provide the
finest results.
Dust Port for Efficient Dust Collection
To help maintain y air quality in your shop, and to make
sure your vision isn't obscured by dust, the hinged top cover has
a four-inch diameter dust port molded into the upper shroud to
help evacuate most of the dust created as you work. Connect to an
efficient dust collector like the JET DC1100 for best results.
Performax Spring Clip for Quick Changes
The 16-32 Plus also includes a special spring clip invented by
Performax that holds the end of the sandpaper roll. This clever
invention makes for quick and easy paper changes, saving you time
and stress.
The 16-32 Plus weighs 145 pounds and is backed by a five-year
warranty.
About JET: A History of Sharing New, Feature-Rich Products
Opened in 1958 after the founder of the company, Leslie P.
Sussman, took the first Boeing Jet Airplane trip from Seattle,
Washington to Japan, JET began as a small dealer that sold air
hoists and trolleys out of a single hardware store in Seattle.
Over the years, JET has carried everything from snowmobiles,
transmitter radios, and forklifts to nylon stockings, but by the
early 1970s, metalworking had become the base of their business
line. And by the 1980s, JET had expanded into the realm of
woodworking. Today, you'll find that JET offers a wide range of
popular woodworking tools that are backed with best-in-class
features and excellent service.
What's in the Box
Drum sander, 80-grit abrasive strip, 100-grit abrasive belt,
TufTool, metal stand with shelf, and one box of ready-to-wrap
abrasives.
