Yeah, if you do the sort of work for which these sanders are useful. My opinion is that any drum thickness sander that runs on 115 volts It just takes a lot of oomph to sand hardwood door panels with a |

I bought mine off of a CL add for three hundred. If it is in good shape it would be worth the money. If I had a commercial shop I would worry about power and the flex of the open ended sander. I only have my small hobby shop, and it works very well. I can do a whole lot more a whole lot quicker now. -- Mel, |

Depends on how much paper. Unless there’s a lot of it, I’d say $400 is an average deal. I got mine a couple years ago with the stand and about $100 in paper for a little over $200, but I got lucky. -- The Wood Nerd -- http://www.thewoodnerd.com |

It’s one of the best drum sanders in it’s size and price on the market. There is nothing it can’t handle, including hard woods. Let’s see, 500+ hard maple end grain cutting boards, three red oak kitchens, and I’ve lost count of the number of other cabinet projects along with lazy susans and bank boxes over the past three years and all I have replaced was the rubber bushing between the motor and drum. Oh, I forgot, I just finished sanding red oak raised panel doors for a refinishing projects. Yep, I would jump on it. -- I don't make mistakes, only design changes....www.dgmwoodworks.com |

I would say good deal, the flexing issue is not a big deal if you take light passes,it is not a thickness machine -- E J ------- Always Keep a Firm Grip on Your Tool |

I have a 16/32 Jet(same as the performax) and I use it every day. Grab it if it’s in good shape. Go thru the book and tweek it and you’ll love it. -- Life is good. |

‘My opinion is that any drum thickness sander that runs on 115 volts I am not sure how much I agree with this. I have a Jet 16-32 that is 115 and have never felt that it was underpowered. The last thing I ran through it was a tabletop made out of ebony, lacewood and babingia, There were no issues with it. -AG |

I got a 22-44 off of CL last year for 500. Put another 2 into it but it has been one of my best purchases. Love the thing. -- "Courage is being scared to death -- but saddling up anyway." |
