5.0 out of 5 stars To buy or not to buy? Is it worth it?, January 13, 2004

This review is from: Jet 709534 3-Inch Spindle Assembly for JBOS-5 Sander (Tools & Home Improvement)

This 3" spindle assembly is substantially larger, and heavier than the standard spindles which comes with the Jet Benchtop Osciallating spindle sander. The advantage to having a larger drum is that it creates a flatter surface where the crown meets with the wood. That creates a smoother surface on larger pieces. The smaller spindles that come with the unit, range from the 2" on down to the smallest ones, which are great for getting into smaller corners etc, but on a large flat or gradual curved surface they can create dimples in the surface if you don't keep the material moving.
Is the 3" spindle neccessary? Not really, with a careful technique, you can accomplish it with the smaller spindles, but it definitely makes it easier. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes Your Benchtop Sander Work Like a "Floor Model", December 27, 2001

This review is from: Jet 709534 3-Inch Spindle Assembly for JBOS-5 Sander (Tools & Home Improvement)

This kit gives you a whole different range of capability with your Jet sander. Take this kit, put your sander on a stable tool stand, and then pat yourself on the back for the money you saved by not buying a floor model sander. With this kit, your sander tackles a much broader range of tasks.

I highly recommend it!

When sanding smooth, flowing curves (like the curvature in a bandsawn box, for instance), the added diameter of this piece keeps the sander from gouging troughs in your workpiece.

I highly recommend it!
