I am in the market for a 16-18 inch drum sander to add to my shop and have been comparing the JET and Supermax models. While looking on Woodcraft.com the past few days, I noticed that the JET Sanders have dropped pretty significantly in price. This is what I found:
JET 1632 is $1,099.99, down from $1,299.99
JET 1836 is $1,299.99, down from $1,397.99
I believe their larger 22-44's have dropped in price as well, but I am not really in the market for that size. I read in Woodworkers Journal that the JET sanders have really efficient dust collection as well as some other notable features. I think SuperMax may be coming out with a new sander this month as well?
Has anyone compared the 2 brands? Thoughts on added value with the lower price?
Thanks everyone!
