Jet 22 44 PRO drum sander?

[donnie cherry]

Does anyone have any feedback on this machine? Pro and cons please. I am also looking at the Jet 22 44 ODS oscillating drum sander too. I bought the Shop Fox 26" dual drum sander and am having issues with it. I notified the place where I bought it and I am returning it getting one of the Jet drum sanders.

Thanks,
Donnie

I don't, personally, but I know Marc Spagnuolo (thewoodwhisperer.com uses it and loves it. He's quite a good WW'er too.

This link doesn't give the clearest view of the 22-44 Pro label. 5:12 show a profile view. 3:41 (in the distance, a bit grainy, but you can make out the 22-44 ?$?. It's the 22-44 Pro.

I have the Jet 22-44 Plus. It is a great size for making a single pass over a large cutting board. It sometimes vibrates slightly and the power feed slows down if taking a large bite on a wide piece of hardwood. Usually this is just an indication that the sandpaper is getting dull or needs cleaning.

The 22-44 Pro looks like it is a beefier version of the Plus. The webbing on top looks like it was added to reduce vibration. It has a 3hp vs 1.75hp on the Plus. I hope that they also have a slightly stronger power feed motor. The Plus has a 1/30hp motor.
