I'm considering breaking down and buying a drum sander. I've narrowed it down to the Supermax 19-38 and the Jet 2244 as being the most likely candidates. The Supermax seems to be the more popular of the two, but the new Jet model has this neat table parallelism adjuster that the Supermax does not. I'm leaning towards the Jet as it is wider and and can easily adjust away any ridges when doing wider work.

Does anyone have experience with either of these machines? As much as I would like a 37" Timesaver, an open ended drum sander is more realistic for my needs, budget, and space. The Supermax has a lot of reviews, but I haven't found much on the Jet, other than a video by Jet.

Thanks!
