Tools and Hardware Reviews of JET 708404 JBOS-5 5-1/2 Inch 1/2 Horsepower Benchtop Oscillating Spindle Sander with Spindle Assortment, 110-Volt 1 Phase

Customer Review: All the quality and performance of it's big brother!
Summary: 5 Stars

Every bit the quality product I expect from JET. Not my first JET purchase, and it won't be my last. I had the Ryobi unit a few years ago, sold it with some other tools when I moved. It came time to buy another spindle sander, and I looked at them all. Tilting table is a big plus, nothing else has it in the price range, and it stays at the angle you set it at! The only spindle you don't get is the 3 inch, and you would have to decide if you even need it (it IS an expensive add-on). Yes, it is probably expensive by comparison to ... others in this size range, but it's worth every penny. Yes, I do recommend this unit if you want something that will probably outlast all of us, but you don't need or can't afford the big floor unit. You will not regret this purchase. Enjoy!

Description of JET 708404 JBOS-5 5-1/2 Inch 1/2 Horsepower Benchtop Oscillating Spindle Sander with Spindle Assortment, 110-Volt 1 Phase

This model 708404 sander is ideal for sanding contours and those hard to reach spots that other sanders just cant get to. This sander provides a scratch free finish due to the oscillating action of the spindle. Features include a 1/2HP motor, a large cast-iron table that tilts to handle all bevel sanding projects and built in dust collection. Five spindle sizes are included as standard equipment: 2", 1-1/2", 5/8", 1/2", and 1/4" as well as two round and two oblong table inserts. A larger 3" spindle is available as an accessory.
Featuring design improvements like a relocated and sealed on/off switch (to prevent dust infiltration), and shelves for storing your five complete spindles, the JET 708404 JBOS-5 5-1/2 Inch 1/2 HP Benchtop Oscillating Spindle Sander with Spindle Assortment, 110-Volt 1 Phase is a true powerhouse. Its tilting table, spindles with threaded ends, and robust induction motor tackle the toughest sanding projects with ease.

The five included spindle assemblies offer plenty of versatility for a wide range of projects.
Oscillation Reduces Friction and Ensures Consistency
The JBOS-5 creates a one-inch oscillating action that reduces friction heat, thereby protecting your wood pieces and prolonging the life of the sleeve. Its main spindle support also runs on precision ball bearings and is oscillated by a heavy-duty worm and gear mechanism for reliable, consistent performance job after job.

Additionally, the oscillation gears run in a sealed, lubricated box to prolong their life and durability.

Powerful Induction Motor for Reliable Performance
The JBOS-5 comes equipped with a powerful 1/2 HP induction motor that easily handles all your sanding projects. And thanks to the table inserts and a built-in, two-inch dust port, you won't have to worry about dust and debris falling into the motor and marring its performance, compromising your view of the workspace, or causing injuries and accidents.

Tilting Table for Bevel Sanding
To give you the flexibility to handle a variety of jobs and material sizes, the JBOS-5's table tilts to 45 degrees. This tilting ability also accommodates bevel sanding projects.

Safety Features for Smooth Operation
Designed for safe and smooth operation, the JBOS-5 boasts several innovative safety features. First, a removable on/off safety switch prevents accidental start-ups. There are also built-in storage racks to keep spindles and table inserts handy and within safe and easy reach. Finally, the benchtop includes four non-skid rubber feet to keep the machine stable during use.

Quick Spindle Changes and a Scratch-Free Finish
You can trust the JBOS-5 to deliver precise, quality results in less time. Spindles have threaded ends for quick, easy changes, and a one-inch spindle ensures a scratch-free finish.

The JBOS-5 measures 17 x 20.8 x 18.2 inches (WxHxL), weighs 82 pounds, and is covered 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.

What's in the Box
Complete 1/4-, 1/2-, 5/8-, 1-1/2 and two-inch spindle assemblies, two round table inserts, and two oblong table inserts.
