The Jet Sander may burn wood because the abrasive strip is overlapped, loaded, or worn. It may also be that the depth of cut is excessive for the grit being used, or the feed rate is too slow. To resolve this, re-wrap or clean the abrasive strip, use a coarser grit, reduce the depth of cut, increase the feed rate, or replace the abrasive.
What to do if my Jet Sander will not start?
If your Jet Sander won't start, the issue might be due to no incoming power or a malfunctioning switch. Check the plug connection and ensure the fuse isn't blown or the circuit breaker isn't tripped. You can also push the circuit breaker button on the sander motor to reset it. If the switch is faulty, consider replacing it.
Why does the abrasive load up prematurely on my Jet Sander?
Premature loading of the abrasive on your Jet Sander can occur due to excessive depth of cut or feed rate, inadequate dust collection, or using an inadequate abrasive. Try reducing the depth of cut and feed rate, increasing airflow at the dust port, or switching to an open-coat abrasive.
What causes snipe marks on my Jet 16-32 Plus?
Snipe marks on your Jet Sander are caused by improper tension on the rollers. Re-tension the rollers to resolve this issue.
What to do if board slips on conveyor belt of Jet 16-32 Plus?
If the board slips on the conveyor belt of your Jet Sander, it could be due to tension rollers being too high, an excessive feed rate, or a dirty or worn conveyor belt. Try lowering the tension rollers, reducing the feed rate, or replacing the conveyor belt.
Why does my Jet 16-32 Plus motor slows or stalls?
The Jet Sander motor might slow down or stall due to improper conveyor belt tension, or excessive depth of cut and/or excessive feed rate. Adjust the belt tension and, if necessary, reduce the depth of cut or feed rate.
What causes a line or groove in stock sanded by Jet 16-32 Plus?
A line or groove in the stock sanded by your Jet Sander is caused by an inconsistent feed rate. To prevent this, do not stop or change the feed rate while feeding stock.
Why does the conveyor belt slip on drive roller of Jet 16-32 Plus Sander?
The conveyor belt may slip on the drive roller of your Jet Sander due to improper conveyor belt tension or excessive depth of cut and/or feed rate. Try adjusting the belt tension and/or reducing the depth of cut and feed rate.
Why does the conveyor motor stalls on my Jet 16-32 Plus Sander?
The conveyor motor on your Jet Sander stalls because of an excessive depth of cut. Reduce the depth of cut; use coarser grit; reduce feed rate.
How to fix ripples in sanded surface with Jet 16-32 Plus?
Ripples in the sanded surface when using the Jet Sander can be caused by a few things. Non-uniformly spaced ripples are usually due to an uneven feed rate, a slipping conveyor belt, a board slipping on the conveyor belt, or a stalled conveyor motor. Uniformly spaced ripples may be due to conveyor bed flexing or vibration. To address these issues, reduce the depth of cut and/or feed rate, and check for loose bolts, loose shaft coupling set screws, or an out-of-balance drum.
