The re-designed 2244 Oscillating Drum Sander from JET has an exclusive oscillating feature that helps create the best sanding finish with the least amount of dust. When in the oscillating mode, the sanding drum head oscillates from left to right which lowers heat build-up on the sanding belt, reducing loading and burning.
The innovative tool-less parallelism system keeps adjustments simple. The worktable is easily positioned by a turn of the parallelism dial. The Sandsmart conveyer system continuously monitors the load on the drum motor to prevent an overload situation. The mirrored design of the dust hood optimizes dust collection preventing chips and dust from getting between your work-piece and the finish. The JET 2244 Oscillating Drum Sander delivers everything you need for an effortless finish.

Features
Exclusive variable speed oscillating drum moves from left to right, minimizing visual scratch patterns in workpieces and increasing the lifespan of abrasive paper
Sandsmart control 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
Dust hood includes an integrated channel that mirrors the shape of the drum and directs chips and dust to the 4" collection port
Conveyor bed parallelism is easily adjusted by turning the dial on the outside of the bed - no tools required
Redesigned conveyor system pulls the workpiece through the sander instead of pushing
The precision-machined and dynamically balanced extruded aluminum drum is designed to dissipate heat and has 3/4" of oscillating stroke
Infinitely variable speed control of up to 10 feet per minute allows the user to choose the optimal feed rate
Conveyor belt TRACKERS reduce the need for manual belt adjustments
Tool-less abrasive take-up clips make changing abrasives quick and easy
Mobile cabinet features a heavy-duty 45" x 24" footprint to increase stability and has a door to keep items stored securely
Snipe is virtually eliminated thanks to the adjustable tension rollers that apply downward pressure to the workpiece
One rotation of the top-position handwheel adjusts the drum height by 1/16"
