If the conveyor belt on your Jet Sander isn't moving, the shaft coupler might be loose or unattached. Try adjusting the shaft coupler to resolve this issue.
Why does the drum motor overheat on my Jet JWDS-1632?
If the drum motor of your Jet Sander overheats, it could be due to restricted air circulation through the motor. Clean the motor fan with compressed air to restore normal air circulation. Alternatively, the motor might be overloaded because the SandSmart feature isn't working correctly. In this case, you should have the controls inspected and repaired.
What to do if the abrasive strip comes off the drum on my Jet JWDS-1632 Sander?
If the abrasive strip keeps coming off the drum of your Jet Sander, it could be due to slack in the abrasive strip. Make sure to remove any slack when installing the strip. Another possibility is that the abrasive was improperly wrapped. Refer to the section on installing abrasives and rewrap the strip correctly.
Why is my Jet Sander burning the wood?
If your Jet Sander is burning the wood, it could be due to several reasons. Check if the abrasive strip is overlapped and re-wrap it if necessary. The abrasive might be loaded, so try cleaning it. If you're using a fine grit with an excessive depth of cut, switch to a coarser grit or reduce the depth of cut. Also, ensure your feed rate isn't too slow and that the abrasive isn't worn out; if it is, replace it.
What causes the drum motor to stall on my Jet JWDS-1632?
If the drum motor of your Jet Sander stalls, causing fuses to blow or the circuit to trip, inspect the motor connections for loose or shorted terminals, or worn insulation. Also, check for low voltage conditions and correct them. Finally, ensure that the correct fuse or circuit breaker is installed in the power line.
Why does the Jet JWDS-1632 Sander blow fuses when starting?
If the drum motor of your Jet Sander won't start and fuses blow or circuit breakers trip, it might be due to a short circuit in the line cord or plug. Inspect the cord or plug for damaged insulation and shorted wires. Also, check the motor connections for loose or shorted terminals or worn insulation. Finally, make sure you have the correct fuse or circuit breaker installed in the power line.
What causes ripples in the sanded surface of my Jet Sander?
If you're seeing ripples in the sanded surface, non-uniformly spaced ripples might be caused by an uneven feed rate, conveyor belt slippage, board slippage, or the conveyor motor stalling. Refer to the corresponding sections for solutions. Uniformly spaced ripples could be due to conveyor table flexing or vibration. Reduce the depth of cut and/or feed rate. Check for loose bolts, loose shaft coupling set screws, or an out-of-balance drum.
Why does the abrasive load up prematurely on my Jet Sander?
If the abrasive on your Jet Sander loads up prematurely, it could be due to several factors. You might be using an excessive depth of cut, so reduce it. The feed rate could also be too high, so reduce that as well. Inadequate dust collection can also cause this issue, so increase airflow at the dust port. Finally, consider using an open-coat abrasive.
What to do if conveyor rollers run intermittently on Jet JWDS-1632?
If the conveyor rollers on your Jet Sander run intermittently, the shaft coupling may be loose. Align the shaft flats of the gear motor and the drive roller, and then tighten the shaft-coupling setscrews.
What causes lines or grooves in stock with Jet JWDS-1632?
If your Jet Sander is leaving lines or grooves in the stock, it's likely due to an inconsistent feed rate. Make sure not to stop or change the feed rate while feeding stock through the sander.
