Jet JDS-12B Benchtop Disc Sander
By James R. Beardsley
This is what a disc sander ought to be (Of course at twice the cost of the comeptition it BETTER be) I lookedat Harbor Freight, Grizzly, Delta, and Shop Fox before finallydeciding on this one. It costs a bundle, but is smoooooooth,well constructed (weighs over 100lbs) and built to tightenough tolerances that you actually are cutting what you intendto cut. It is a pleasure to use. This machine is for thesemi pro to professional shop user. If you want a sander thatjust grinds wood or metal, then go buy the Harbor Freight, or Grizzly, they cost over a hundred bucks less. However if you want a machine that just sits there and hummmmmms, and quickly sands exactly where you apply the material then get the Jet.. It will outlast 3 of the "generic" Chinese sanders (Jet is also made in China, but in one of the most modern, well equiped factories in all of Asia)My only quibbles are minor. One of the sanding plate adjustmentknobs was broken when I got it, it will be replaced.Also the sanding disc that comes with the unit WILL ABSOLUTLYNOT stick to the sanding plate. I tried using a heat gun, Itried pushing, I tried saying very very bad words, nothing.Fortunatly I had some good old Harbor Freight sanding discson hand....That is it in a nutshell. If you want the bestbuy the Jet, if you dont want to spend the bucks, and will settle for a lesser machine then Harbor Freight, Grizzly, Delta,and Shop Fox are out there waiting for you...

Jet 708433/JDS-12B 12" Benchtop Disc Sander
By D. A. Wood
I had originally planned to buy the Delta 12" Disc sander until I read in their catalog that that it could not be used to sand metal. Since I will be using it for both metal and wood, I began looking around for another option. To my delight, I found the new 12" Jet. Jet's sander is far superior. Not only does it have twice as much horsepower, but the motor is TEFC. This allows me grind metal when needed without voiding my warranty or damaging the machine.
The Jet weighs in at a beefy 100 lbs and has a very large cast iron table. It also has a 4" dust port with an impeller which really pushes the dust out of the it's port and an oversized on/off paddle switch w/key.
Most importantly, it runs VERY smooth and the 1 hp motor stands up under heavy infeed pressure. Fit and finish is outstanding as is the documentation.
As far as cons are concerned, I'll echo the previous reviewer regarding the filler strip. I'll likely shim the filler later although it doesn't seem to pose any immediate issues. This being said, I wouldn't let these small issues get in the way of purchasing this sander.
All in all, I think this is the best sander in it's class and would recommend it highly.
