No tearing panels off to access a hidden part. Time will tell if it will stand up to everyday use. It took maybe 15-20 minutes to have the sander up and running. But light cuts worked fine, no problems. These are just my experiences, nothing more.

The fact is that the Jet 649004K was the 1-3/4 HP Motor Sanders that we ranked at the top. Even so, there were several other truly premium quality 1-3/4 HP Motor Sanders worth showcasing here that just barely missed the mark.

Next on our list is built by Powermatic known to be a very credible tool manufacturer. Powermatic's Drum Sanders are great as well. It was fantastic to try out the PM2244. I was very happy using this tool!

The model PM2244 Drum Sander by Powermatic, at $2699.99 is a particularly excellent Sander for the price. The Powermatic PM2244 is truly a solid alternative. Of you are uncertain about our top choice, I'd suggest you choose this Sander.
