2.0 out of 5 stars not up to normal jet quality, June 7, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Jet 708551 Combination 8" Disc/1" x 42" Belt Sander (Tools & Home Improvement)

The table for the disc is very hard to adjust since neither surface is machined you tighten one side it puts the other side out of adjustment. The front table for the belt was a little better but the adjustment is held by one bolt,and there is no index to go by so it has to be checked with a square after each belt change.No matter how much you try to tighten the bolt the leverage on the table cause it to move very easily. Also there is no dust collection on the machine at all which with a sander would be nice to have.
