Jet's 2244 Oscillating Drum Sander features an exclusive oscillating head that produces smooth, flat sanded surfaces while also minimizing the potential for burning and maximizing abrasive life. When in the oscillating mode, the sanding drum oscillates 3/4'' from left to right which lowers heat build-up on the sanding belt, reducing loading and burning. Convenience features include an innovative tool-less parallelism system for easy adjustments, and a worktable that is easily positioned by a turn of the parallelism dial. The Sandsmart™ conveyer system continuously monitors the load on the drum motor to prevent an overload situation. In addition, the sander features a dust hood with an integrated channel that mirrors the shape of the drum, optimizing dust collection performance.
Features:
Exclusive variable speed oscillating drum moves from left to right—minimizing visual scratch patterns in the wood and increasing the lifespan of your abrasives
Sandsmart™ control continuously monitors the load on the drum motor and automatically regulates the speed of the conveyor motor to maintain the highest feed rate without overload
Dust hood includes an integrated channel that mirrors the shape of the drum and directs chips and dust to the 4'' collection port
Conveyor bed parallelism is easily adjusted by turning the dial on the outside of the bed—no tools required
Parallelism adjust dial features a stop to quickly return the conveyor bed to a flat position
Redesigned conveyor system pulls the workpiece through the sander instead of pushing
Precision-machine, dynamically balanced extruded aluminum drum is designed to dissipate heat and has 3/4'' of oscillating stroke
Die-cast drum carriage design is optimized for rigidity to provide years of consistent quality
Precision-flattened reinforced steel conveyor bed
Infinitely variable conveyer speed of up to 10 feet per minute allows the user to choose the optimal feed rate
Conveyor belt TRACKERS™ reduce the need for manual belt adjustments
Tool-less abrasive take-up clips make changing abrasives quick and easy
Mobile cabinet features a heavy duty 45'' x 24'' footprint to increase stability and has a door to keep items stored securely
Snipe is virtually eliminated thanks to the adjustable tension rollers that apply downward pressure to the workpiece
One rotation of the top-position hand wheel adjusts the drum height by 1/16''
The relative depth scale on the hand wheel allows the user to reset and measure the depth for every project
