We use the smaller version of this machine at the college I go to, it gets used for tops, back and sides, binding, headstock overlay, rosette,, everything bar the neck really! Great machine, and thicknesses figured woods very well!
I was just about to purchase the JET 22-44 Oscillating one at Axminster. But I think I go for the Axminster trade series drum sander. I see that it can also have brush sander attachments installed. Thanks for the video. Best regards. T.Robertsen
the open end might be quite handy if you want to sand panels up to double the width of the rated capacity, just add an extension table and turn around the panel for a second pass
I would like to try out your finishing oil on a limba neck and body I'm working on. Do you carry a sealer- filler to use in conjunction with it? If not what would you suggest. I know Tru Oil makes a sealer- filler for use with their product. Do you know if that would be compatible with your oil. I usually spray waterborne lacquer with epoxy for a filler but that's not the look I would like for this guitar. Thanks for any help you can give and congratulations on the success of your business. It's been great to watch you grow from your humble shed.
Concerning the feeder motor: I'm pretty sure that the "wheeny" sound isn't from the motor itself but from the gear and from the variable-frequency drive for controlling the feeder speed. Sounds absolutely fine to me!
I don’t understand why you used such a small piece of wood to check a 22” sander, I mean yes for an initial run but as a review video maybe you could have shown the actual intended use of the tool? Run at least a top/back half through it and check accuracy?
+Crimson Custom Guitars Hey Ben! At 7:15 and 7:35, Daniel did indeed pick up the offending sewing machine motor. P.S. How do you think a quilted maple top underneath a blue and purple stunning stains sunburst would look?
Since the conveyor is pulling stuff through fairly slowly, I feel confident that you're not so stupid as to get the thick and long and baggy sleeve or unzipped front of your sweater caught and then pull something important right in. Remember, if something like that (or that) happens, PULL BACK as hard as you can no matter how much it hurts. Ending up with a few inches of exposed hand-bones is a lot better than it eating your arm all the way to your elbow. But at least it probably wouldn't be as bad as an accident with a large lathe. Now THOSE things can INSTANTLY snatch you and pull whatever part it's got ahold of in there and then grind it up or bust it to smithereens or rip it off before you can even feel it (but the images found online are quite distressing and the injuries sometimes are life-altering/ending). You don't happen to have a big lathe; do you? Just sayin'.
This is a question 100% off topic of this video (which, by the way, was awesome). I've heard rumors of people who've gone to adjust a truss rod, and the entire fret board has popped right off. I actually had nightmares where this happens to me (one recurring nightmare, actually. not joking.) Have you ever heard or encountered anything of the sort? Or am I just being unreasonably paranoid? If you have heard of it, what would be the cause? A bad fretboard/neck joint? Thank you for your time, and best wishes. Sincerely, Tristan Sterling Przebinda
I would get that feed unit replaced by Axminster, you should not be able to bend that drive spindle by hand, it was probably bent at the factory. Unfortunately too many maufacturers are fitting parts that would previously have been scrapped and letting the retailer returns department do the QA for them.
hey ben, the jet sander you have cost a lot here in the atlanta 1700 to 1800 hundred dollars instead 1200 the builders here only buy that model because of the price..and deal with the problems it has...you have a great shop now ,,a long way from the shed..i love watching you videos but you have a lot of great tools but got the cheapest drum sander in that size..
PWM is going to sound weird. Just deal with it. That entire shaft, on the infeed side must have been bent in the box. It should shot wiggling if you replace it.
Well, that's what you get for paying £1200 for a drum sander. The feed motor doesn't need to be powerful anyway. Simply geared down for a little torque. Anything more powerful would be wasteful on a machine this size. The feed belt looks loose....I wouldn't put any faith in a third party to set up my machines, regardless. Best practice is to take everything back to square one even just for familiarity.
Wow - how to buy a tool after doing no research, don't know anything about drum sanders, don't read the manual until you've made a boo-boo, and probably bought one that is way too big for guitar making. A 16-32 or maybe the 18-36 would be way big enough.

Hmmm... "dust extraction". It's funny the differences in English across The Pond. I've never heard it called anything but dust collection. Cool video!

I have had the 16/32 for years now and love it, never use a planer.....
Will there be a presentation of N4400 i see in the background?
Yes! I'm hoping to shoot that this week.. It is a very nice machine and with the ceramic guides I am blown away.

If that bent spindle that's horrible....can also see that conveyor was rounded a little from sitting in same spot...

+Tristan S. Przebinda Hide glue.
there's some circuitry that could quiet down that PWM stepping
I would get that feed unit replaced by Axminster, you should not be able to bend that drive spindle by hand, it was probably bent at the factory.
Unfortunately too many maufacturers are fitting parts that would previously have been scrapped and letting the retailer returns department do the QA for them.
Hi. Can we have a feedback after 3 year please ? maybe you ve done it already in an other video ?
.You need to adjust the feed belt
hey ben, the jet sander you have cost a lot here in the atlanta 1700 to 1800 hundred dollars instead 1200 the builders here only buy that model because of the price..and deal with the problems it has...you have a great shop now ,,a long way from the shed..i love watching you videos but you have a lot of great tools but got the cheapest drum sander in that size..
+thomas dave
I think he said 1200 quid, that *is* about 1740 dollars.
+DerEchteBold Confirmed, Ben lives in a place called "England" which uses a different type of money. Strange place indeed.

Cool, but I recommend grizzly
Not available in the uk/Europe. Wouldn't even consider shipping to me

You're working too hard Ben, take some time off with the fam. :)
If you need someone to review / test / maintain your extraction speak to Clive Bates @ R&B Industrial - Andover, Hampshire.
