Digital Read-Out Screen for Superior Accuracy
Whether you're a hobbyist or a professional, you will appreciate this drum sander's digital read-out (DRO) screen for the time and energy it saves. The DRO screen allows you to preset the exact thickness of the work piece and digitally displays it when the sanding is complete, so your sanding can be easily controlled and verified.

Exclusive SandSmart Technology Prevents Machine Overload
Designed to achieve an expert finish without machine overload, the Jet 22-44ODS's exclusive SandSmart feature 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. If the load on the drum motor increases, the SandSmart control will decrease the conveyor feed rate and will stop the conveyor under extreme conditions. If the load on the drum decreases, SandSmart will increase it faster than the manual setting on the speed adjustment label.

Additionally, the sander's exclusive oscillating feature allows it to be operated as a simple sander or as an oscillating sander for increased flexibility and control.

Powerful, Intuitive Details Save You Time
The drum sander's 22-inch suspended drum is braced on either end with a strong carriage arm and aligns easily with the conveyor bed for consistent contact. Fine-tuning for precise thickness is easy with the rugged cast-iron hand-wheel that makes sharp 3/32-inch height adjustments with each turn.

The precision-flattened steel conveyor bed is fashioned with conveyor belt trackers that relieve the need for frequent belt adjustments. An infeed and an outfeed table abut the conveyor belt, providing plenty of support for the work piece.

The backbone of this superior drum sander is its heavy-duty engine system. The Jet 22-44ODS operates on two separate motors--one that rotates the conveyor belt and a powerful 1-3/4 HP motor that rotates the sanding drum and employs a continuous duty cycle to provide consistent power and stand up to extended usage. This sander also offers a built-in cabinet with a door to help you keep your work space organized.

The 22-44ODS Oscillating Drum Sander 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.

Product Description

The JET Oscillating Drum Sander has an exclusive oscillating feature - with the push of a button the 22-44OSC sander can be operated as a simple sander or as an oscillating sander. When operating as a linear sander, the sander drum rotates as the conveyor feeds the workpiece through. In the oscillating mode, in addition to the linear sanding operation, the sanding drum head oscillates from left to right and lowers heat build-up on the sanding belt to reduce loading and burning.

4.0 out of 5 stars good but..., January 22, 2009

By

(REAL NAME)   

I picked up this sander a couple days ago and have been testing it out. There is a video out where this machine is being tested at the Atlanta International Woodworking Fair - 2008. In that video, a representative from Jet claims that this sander delivers on the promise of having to do away with finish sanding after drum sanding. No way! In oscillation mode this sander will always leave some ripples in the wood. I don't see any way around this even with very light passes and running the boards through several times. The other way to get the ripples out is to leave the oscillation off for the final sanding passes with fine grit. Having said that, what the oscillation does allow is for rapid removal of wood with coarse grit without burning or a lot of scratching. In the end the oscillation will save time and sand paper. If you are doing doors for example. You can put 80 or 120 grit in and with oscillation on, run it through one time and get it down to where you can make the final couple passes with very fine grit with oscillation off. You can skip the in-between grits. Also, in that video from the Atlanta show, the rep says that the top casting moves on linear bearings. I don't think so. As far as I can tell it's metal rods with gibs and grease. Unless I'm missing something, I don't think there are linear bearings as I think of linear bearings. Is the oscillation worth it? It does save time and frustration. All in all, I think it's a good machine

This review is from: JET 22-44ODS Oscillating Drum Sander Kit with closed stand (Tools & Home Improvement)

Bought this unit for my shop and picked it up for $1600 + $90 delivery charge... Put it together without problems. I was impressed with the workmanship...suprised at that as it is from overseas. Things are just getting better I guess. Worked right out of the box. Put everything out of adjustment so I could re-adjust and become familiar with the unit. No problems. Beats a planer hands down...worth its weight in gold? Naaa, but close.

This review is from: JET 22-44ODS Oscillating Drum Sander Kit with closed stand (Tools & Home Improvement)

Though I wish ppl would use items for a while before reviewing them, I wanted to let you know that Amaz's Product Description for the 22-44ODS is in error. I just rec'd (not even out of the box) and found unit does not have Digital Read-Out.
The 22-44ODS only comes w/ a linear scale (like a tape measure); it looks just like the picture (This time the picture is correct, often times they are out-dated). Though Amaz's list of features starts w/ DRO, it DOES NOT have it. I called WMH, who Amaz gets the unit from and they said that in this size, only the 22-44Pro has DRO, but it does not have Oscillation; no 22-44ODS has DRO. The rep talked w/ tech and found the DRO unit from the 22-44Pro will not fit the ODS. I would rather have oscillation than a digital read-out, although the 22-44Pro has a 3hp motor - that almost makes me willing to give up oscillation, but nope.
Wanted to let you know. Many good reviews on the Jet/Performax sanders; only a couple for this unit and neither said anything about the lack of DRO.
Unit was packed well and in good condition. Rec'd unit the day after I ordered, prob take two weeks to get the sandpaper...
