What should I do if wood is gouged by my Jet JWDS-1020 Sander?
If your Jet Sander gouges the wood, it's likely due to the stock slipping on the conveyor. Correct the depth of cut or roller tension to prevent slipping. It can also happen if the workpiece isn't properly supported, so add work supports for long workpieces.
Why does the conveyor belt slip on the drive roller of my Jet JWDS-1020?
The conveyor belt slipping on the drive roller of your Jet Sander is often due to improper conveyor belt tension. Adjust the belt tension to correct this. It can also be caused by excessive depth of cut and/or feed rate, so reduce these as needed.
What to do if the board slips on the conveyor belt of my Jet JWDS-1020 Sander?
If the board slips on the conveyor belt of your Jet Sander, it could be because the tension rollers are too high. Lower the tension rollers. It may also be due to an excessive feed rate, so reduce the feed rate. The conveyor belt may also be dirty or worn, so replace it.
Why does my Jet JWDS-1020 Sander burn wood?
Your Jet Sander might burn wood due to several reasons: the abrasive strip may be overlapped, the abrasive could be loaded, the depth of cut might be excessive for the fine grit you're using, the feed rate might be too slow, or the abrasive is worn. To resolve this, re-wrap the abrasive strip, clean the abrasive, use a coarser grit or reduce the depth of cut, increase the feed rate, or replace the abrasive.
Why does my Jet JWDS-1020 Sander abrasive load up prematurely?
Premature loading of the abrasive on your Jet Sander may occur due to excessive depth of cut, excessive feed rate, inadequate dust collection, or inadequate abrasive. Try reducing the depth of cut and feed rate, increasing airflow at the dust port, or using an open-coat abrasive.
What to do if the drum motor stalls on my Jet JWDS-1020 Sander, resulting in blown fuses or a tripped circuit?
If the drum motor stalls, causing blown fuses or a tripped circuit in your Jet Sander, it could be due to a short circuit in the motor or loose connections. Inspect the motor connections for loose or shorted terminals or worn insulation. It may also be due to low voltage, so correct any low voltage conditions. Finally, it may be caused by an incorrect fuse or circuit breaker in the power line, so install the correct one.
What causes the abrasive strip to be loose on my Jet JWDS-1020?
A loose abrasive strip on your Jet Sander can be due to the strip catching on the inside edge of the slot, or on the inboard side of the drum. Re-adjust the strip end in the slot and/or trim the abrasive edge. It could also be that the strip wasn't cut properly. Re-cut and re-install the abrasive strip.
What causes the conveyor motor to stall on my Jet Sander?
The conveyor motor stalls on your Jet Sander because of an excessive depth of cut. To resolve this, reduce the depth of cut, use a coarser grit, and reduce the feed rate.
What causes a line or groove in the stock when using my Jet JWDS-1020 Sander?
A line or groove in the stock when using your Jet Sander is caused by an inconsistent feed rate. To avoid this, do not stop or change the feed rate while feeding stock.
What causes snipe marks on my Jet JWDS-1020 Sander?
Snipe marks on your Jet Sander are caused by improper tension on the rollers. You should re-tension the rollers to resolve this issue.
