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.

It's true that the Jet 649004K was the 1-3/4 HP Motor Sanders that we graded most highly. Nevertheless, there were a handful of other truly premium 1-3/4 HP Motor Sanders we wanted to showcase here that only just fell short.

Next up is made by Powermatic known to be a very credible tool supplier. Powermatic's Drum Sanders are great as well. I was excited to have a go at the model PM2244 and I was not let down!

The Powermatic PM2244 Drum Sander, at $2699.99 is an especially great Sander for the price. The Powermatic PM2244 is definitely a sound option. Of you are not sure about our number one selection, I'd advise to select this Sander.
