ive got a jet 16/32 Dick and i highly recommend it. mine is about several years old. it has the sand smart feature which works great. if the sander starts to bog down it will automatically slow down the belt speed. helps to prevent from over loading the motor. i adjusted the belt tracking when i bought it and have never had to touch it since. now i dont know how the quality is today, i sure hope they didn't cheapen it.
working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
