No assembly required, came ready out of the box. I have not had any issues with excessive heat. I was surprised because there was no freight charge. If you have the time, works on large jobs. The cast iron table is flawless.

Jet 708404 Final Thoughts
"Runs nice and smooth."
No damage, packaging can improve. It's a nice sander for the small shop. With a coat of paste wax, it's smooth. Dust collection is very effective. Like one other reviewer mine was packed upside down.
