How to fix loud noise or vibration from Jet Sander?
If you're experiencing a loud, repetitive noise or vibration coming from your Jet Sander, check the fasteners and tighten them where needed. It's also possible that the motor fan is hitting the cover, so tighten the fan or shim the fan cover. Finally, ensure the machine is level by placing it on a level floor and using shims if necessary.
Why is the abrasive strip loose on my Jet JWDS-1632?
If the abrasive strip on your Jet Sander is loose, it might be caught on the inside edge of the slot or on the inboard side of the drum. Try re-adjusting the strip end in the slot and/or trim the abrasive edge. Another possibility is that the strip wasn't cut properly, so try re-cutting and re-installing it.
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 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 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 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 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.
