permanently lubricated ball bearings. The drum assembly is
mounted in a truss-like carriage arm for superior strength and
rigidity. This system also makes aligning the drum to the table
surface easy. That means consistent performance with minimal
adjusting by the operator.
Our special Tuf Tool
makes changing abrasive
strips easier.
The drum is equipped with patented abrasive take-up fasteners that
make changing the abrasive strips fast and easy. We also include
our exclusive Tuf Tool
™
that makes operating the take-up
fasteners a no-strain event.
Table and Feed
The generous 23”-wide
by 30 ¾”-long
conveyor platform is
augmented by the
included 10”-deep by
24”-wide steel
extension tables. That
provides 51” of overall
support that handles
the big jobs with ease.
The expansive conveyor surface is expanded even further with the included steel
extension tables. (left) Easy to use conveyor belt tension adjusters (right) even have
the necessary wrench captured on the bolt!
The conveyor belt features easy to use tension and tracking adjusters. Each adjuster has a
built-in wrench captured on the threaded shaft so you never have to look for a tool to
make a small adjustment! Plus, our patented conveyor belt TRACKERS™ dramatically
reduce the need for manual belt adjustments.
Our exclusive SandSmart
circuitry protects against
overloads by automatically
slowing the feed rate to prevent
damage to the wood, abrasive
strip or motor.
The specially designed, no-give conveyor belt moves over a
precision flattened steel bed so the wood is always on a true
surface. That means super smooth, consistent sanding for the
best possible results.
The JET 22-44 Pro-3 Drum Sander uses a separate feed
motor to drive the conveyor belt. That insures consistency but
also allowed us to develop our EXCLUSIVE SandSmart™
variable-feed control system. This infinitely variable feed rate
control operates between 0 to 10 feet per minute so you can
use the best rate for the job. The SandSmart
™
technology
also prevents straining the machine by sensing the load on the
conveyor and automatically reducing the feed rate to help
prevent burning of the wood or the abrasive.
