Customer Reviews:

Good Sander -- Flimsy Stand [Posted on 2007-01-04]
I own many Jet tools, but this is the first to come with an open stand and no lower cross supports. When you push or pull the machine, the stand flexes badly. The holes are there on the lower legs, but Jet doesn't provide the hardware.

Also, the dust collection is not very efficient. When I hook up my four inch Jet dust collector I still get significant blow-by and dust build up in the wheels and housing.

Like most Jet tools, it does a good job, but the stand and dust collection are sub-standard.

Decent sander, packaging needs work [Posted on 2007-01-25]
I bought this from my local wood working store. When I got it home I found that the 9" cast plate was broken. It was not just cracked, it was fractured. It was likely damaged in shipping. Another person mentioned that his sander arrived with a broken disk as well.

I bought it locally because I felt that the chances I would receive a broken tool were less --- WRONG! Jet probably should work on their packaging a little bit more.

Other than that initial bad experience I am fairly happy with it.

The dust collection could be a little better, but it does a fairly decent job.

UPDATE: I wrote a note to Jet describing my trouble with the first unit, and they sent me some abrasives for my trouble. Jet's customer service is quite good in my opinion.

Best sander for the price [Posted on 2008-02-11]
The JET JSG-960G is built to run hard. After a thorough search of 6x48 belt sanders that met my needs I choose the Jet JSG-960G and haven't a single regret with my purchase. I looked at Grizzly, Sears, you name it I looked at it. With free shipping from Amazon.com this sander is a bargain. Well built, sturdy legs (even w/o a shelf), plenty of power, very effective dust collection, great tracking that's easy to adjust and lock. I was at first concerned with the plastic base but the base is very thick with molded reinforcement, very sturdy indeed. If you've got the extra $125- or so to blow I would choose this over any other cheaper 6x48 sander. I realize hard earned $$ are tough to part with but you will be glad you did.

Quiet-Smooth-Excellent [Posted on 2008-04-24]
I love this. I normally use my Shopsmith 12 inch disc sander but for smaller operations the 9 inch is great. Tracking and operation of the disc sander was smooth and effortless. Absolutely love it so far. Set up of stand and all was a breeze. I added casters to the base. Watch it is you add after the fact as the sander is heavier in one direction. Buck

Almost a screwup. The shipping company had the wrong phone number (I don't know where they got it), they were unable to contact me for delivery. I called them to check and fortunately, the warehouse was close, so I went and picked it up. I don't know what would have happened if I had not called.

I suggest that the order process include a contact phone number, especially for items shipped by trucking company. Also advise the customer that the trucking company will call for delivery coordination.
