No tearing panels off to access a hidden part. Time will tell if it will stand up to everyday use. It took maybe 15-20 minutes to have the sander up and running. But light cuts worked fine, no problems. These are just my experiences, nothing more.

The Jet 649004K was definitely our number one 1-3/4 HP Motor Sanders. That being said, there were a few other truly premium 1-3/4 HP Motor Sanders worth showcasing here that only just missed first place.

Powermatic is another major manufacturer of Sanders. They build the tool that is next on our lineup. Powermatic's Drum Sanders are also top quality. I was eager to try the model PM2244 and I was not disappointed!

The model PM2244 Drum Sander by Powermatic, at $2699.99 is an especially excellent Sander for the money. If you unsure about our number one choice, I'd check out the Powermatic PM2244 next. It's a first class tool at a good price.
