LIFES' TRADE-OFFS
This bench symbolizes all the trade-offs we make in life. All the gripes and complaints of the smaller Sjoberg bench apply to this bench. It's small, light, the hardware is toyish, the top is thin. Having said all that, I am glad I purchased this. An average woodworker could make a bench that is much better if he had the tools and the time. The latter is my problem. I don't have the time. Making a bench would be on a long list of projects I am working on, so I would not have a bench for a couple of years. In short this bench is better than O.K. It's not flimsy or made of particle board. It's a stopgap. ... Read more

Jet disappointed me.
After recieving my 1442 Jet Lathe with a very good instruction manual, I really expected the same with other products I rec'd from Jet. However, for this kit, Jet purchased an instruction manual from a book store and the manual does NOT show how to use the items in the kit! Plus the manual uses jigs and other things to drill and press parts that aren't in the kit. The mandrel is not the same either. You would think a company as large as Jet could afford to have their own manual printed with the equipment as shown in the kit. I expected better! ... Read more

Very slippery
I love the clear view of what is in the bag so I know when to empty it. Saves a lot of mess, just tie and toss. However, I found that the bags are difficult to install because the bag kept slipping off the retaining ring when I tried to insert the ring into the housing. Finally resorted to a few pieces of duct tape to hold it and got it into place.

Very Handy
Made of "heavy duty" clear plastic. I like these clear bags because you know when the bag is full. Easy clean-up. Just remove the bag, tie it and toss. I would give them five stars if Jet gave you more bags for this price. ... Read more

• 3" Spindle Assembly
• For use with JBOS-5 (708404) sander

Reviews (2)

To buy or not to buy? Is it worth it?
This 3" spindle assembly is substantially larger, and heavier than the standard spindles which comes with the Jet Benchtop Osciallating spindle sander. The advantage to having a larger drum is that it creates a flatter surface where the crown meets with the wood. That creates a smoother surface on larger pieces. The smaller spindles that come with the unit, range from the 2" on down to the smallest ones, which are great for getting into smaller corners etc, but on a large flat or gradual curved surface they can create dimples in the surface if you don't keep the material moving.
Is the 3" spindle neccessary? Not really, with a careful technique, you can accomplish it with the smaller spindles, but it definitely makes it easier. Highly recommended.

Makes Your Benchtop Sander Work Like a "Floor Model"
This kit gives you a whole different range of capability with your Jet sander. Take this kit, put your sander on a stable tool stand, and then pat yourself on the back for the money you saved by not buying a floor model sander. With this kit, your sander tackles a much broader range of tasks.

I highly recommend it! ... Read more

Does a Great Job
When installing a dust collection system, eliminating resistance to airflow is what it is all about. The ideal is as large a pipe as possible, flowing in a straight line, without any ridges in the surface. Of course in the real world at least some of these things wind up being less than ideal. What this Jet 4" Y-connector does, is give you a large pipe, that makes a gradual Y as opposed to a straight 90 degree angle T, and the sides of the connector are smooth. So when you need to divide your air source into two lines, this elbow does the nicest job.
The advantage of incorporating a Y connector into your system, is that you can take a single air source, connect this Y connector to it, a pair of gates, and no longer have to switch your hoses between two different pieces of equipment. All you do is open the gate to one, and close it to the other. All in all highly recommended.

A Strong Link in the DC Chain
This is a good connector for a DC system. Not a complicated piece, but a very good one. The ends were all 4" , the hose fit snuggly and the wire clamps held.

When making a branch in the DC system, to go to several different pieces of equipment, the "Y" connection is better to use than the "T". The Y will allow for a better air flow. Combine the Y with a/several blast gates, then it's almost like having a single hose go to each piece of equipment. ... Read more

DO NOT BUY
The set up of this jig is totally trial and error and the instruction booklet is loaded with errors. I couldn't believe you actually have to remove some parts to get at adjustments. The set up guide instructs you to do the first trial cut at a bit depth of 7/8". This is extremely dangerous because if you are experimenting with ANY stock, the bit will dig into the metal jig. That's what happened to me TOO.

Good Product
This product is a nice quality piece of equipment for the money. I would buy it again, and it does what it is advertised to do.

I read the comments about the manual. It's not the best manual, but if you read the manual and follow the directions it's correct. The biggest problem I see from people in here and what I experienced is that you have to follow the text written directions for measuring the router base, wood, and router bit. If you follow the quick reference table, it will not be correct. It doesn't imply some of the proper math. Other than that, it's a drawer making machine!

Needs clear instructions
I purchased this and have now returned it. The instructions that come with it give very clear instructions how to assemble and line up the and wood, but not clear at all on setting up the routher to use with it. The instructions walk you through one setup, using I think it was 1/2" material, but if you're using different templates (that they sell) they don't give you any instruction for setup using the other templates, nor do any instructions come with the template. I contacted JET and they mailed to me some further instructions, but they were still very hard to understand. Also unless you dedicate a router to this jig you have to set it up, trial and error, every time till you get it right, then cut your parts. It took me 3 hours and lots of scrap lumber to get a good setup, then the parts cut rather quickly, but my router bit was almost to short to hold in the collet, and wanted to keep pulling down on me. (I was cutting 3/4" material). I think I'm going to try the Porter Cable brand jig, even though it doesn't have the quick clamp system like this one does.

Dangerous instruction errors
The set up of this jig is totally trial and error and the instruction booklet is loaded with errors. I couldn't believe you actually have to remove some parts to get at adjustments. The set up guide instructs you to do the first trial cut at a bit depth of 7/8". This is extremely dangerous because if you are experimenting with narrow stock, the bit will dig into the metal jig. That's what happened to me, causing a brand new carbide dovetail bit to disintegrate. I'm lucky I wasn't injured. This is a dangerous item and I do not recommend it to anyone.

Quirky set-up, but excellent results!
After spending the last three hours setting up the dovetail jig I was able to fashion my first drawer to my finicky expectations.

As others stated, the instructions leave a _lot_ to be desired, hence the three hour setup.

The hardest part of the setup is getting the dovetail bit at the
perfect height so the joint is neither loose nor too tight. Once you have this height. LEAVE THE BIT IN THE ROUTER!

Use of a straight "clearing bit" saves wear and tear on your dovetail bit. If you decide to use a clearing bit, put it in another router (I'm using a $70.00 cheapo router I got a couple of years ago)
The crucial concept in setting the height is that
you need to adjust 1/2X of what you measure. This is because you're affecting both the pins and tails. For a perfect fit, instead of adjusting the bit and making another pass, cut off the old pins and tails and start fresh.
One more thing. After you make the first pass, go back a second time to clean up anything you might have missed. For me, it's the difference between having to hammer the joint together and just push it together with my hands.

Although the jig clamping system appears sloppy, it should be remembered that it is only a clamping system and works quite well for this task. The stops that require adjusting during setup perform acceptably, although I fine tune the setup after clamping to ensure that the top and side are absolutely flush.

I'm quite pleased with this product. Especially considering what others are selling for. Not only does the Jet take bigger stock, but it appears that I can do both half-blind and full dovetails just by adjusting the stop. This would appear to work only up to 3/4 stock. When I find out for sure, I'll edit this review. ... Read more

wasted my money
I bought these plastic blastgates because they were cheaper than aluminum. What a waste of money! I broke two of them while installing, the slots jam up with chips, and they cannot be taken apart for cleaning. As my funds allow, I will be replacing the plastic with aluminum.

What's all the whining about?
I've used these blastgates for about a year in my home basement workshop and have never had a problem. I'll admit I don't use the shop every day, but for the casual user, these gates work great! I have about 4 of these in use. Most of the gates are connected on a hose or pipe in a vertical position (where the gate control is horizontal). This might help the problem that others on this forum seem to be complaining about (with dust collecting in the gate slot). As far as the taper goes, I'll agree the design doesn't need to be tapered. However, using the wire hose clamps tightened securely, I've never had one come off when I didn't want it to.

dust jammer
i wish i had read the reviews about clogging. fine dust rapidly accumulates in the grooves the gate slides in and makes closure impossible. works fine on my router table and planer (i guess the chips are too big to get stuck in the small crannies) but any tool making dust will clog in short time

Blastgate Needed - Not This One!
With a blastgate at each machine, you can control the air flow from the DC unit as if you only had one machine hooked up, providing the most efficient use of the air suction. By opening and closing each blastgate, as needed, you will get the maximum amount of air flow at all times.

For a more "durable" blastgate, there is a metal version available at a premium. But I have found the plastic gates run into problems with use. They jam with debris and cannot be taken apart to clean. The spot welds, which hold them together, will lossen with use, then the sliding gate, which is a friction function, will not operate properly. The metal gate uses a screw to kept the gate open.

Overall, it is a needed product that allows for maximum use of a dust collection system, with a blastgate installed at each branch to control the air flow to the machine in use. BUT, do not invest in the plastic version, go with the metal blastgate.

Dont waste your time
I would not buy these. They jam with dust. These do not come apart for cleanout. These will only work in a dust free shop. (A shop that is not used.) I recommend the metal gate at the same price. The metal gate is sturdy and solid. ... Read more

Excellent floor sweep
I agree with the previous reviewer that this is an excellent "tool" to clean up all of the dust and scraps that have would up on the floor. The unit it self is sturdy and should stand up to lots of use. But that is not all it can do.

I found one very cool use for the floor sweep. Since I don't have a sanding table with built in dust collection, I tried something different. I clamped the floor sweep to my bench top and sanded my project in front of the sweep. All of the sanding mess was sucked up into the sweep and away into my DC system.

I definitely give Jet Floor Sweep 1003 and my Jet DC 1100 a big thumbs up.

The Finishing Touch
The Floor Sweep is an excellent "tool" to clean up all the dust that escaped from the DC system and made it's way onto the floor. The large size, about 24" by 6", with a 4" outlet, allows for a quick and easy cleanup of the shop floor. Just use it like a regular vacuum cleaner. The plastic housing is heavy duty, will stand up to a lot of use, and abuse.

Include a blastgate to the floor sweep, then you can turn it on and off when needed. It is somewhat too large and bulky to clean the bench tops, but does an excellent job on the floor. It is worth setting up a branch on the DC system just for this floor sweep. ... Read more

Better than plastic
I have now traded all my plastic blastgates for aluminum. They cost a bit more, but are worth it. They don't clog as easily,and if they do, are easier to clean. The setscrew helps to keep it open or closed. Don't waste your money on plastic blastgates.

The advantages of the Jet aluminum blastgate
In addition to being a good grounding connector for a smooth metal ductwork system, and being able to seal it with aluminum tape, it also has a cleaning advantage. Think about the irony of a blast gate. If you wanted to create an ideal headache for creating, and not being able to clean out trapped dirt, a blast gate is it. You have a lot of material passing by a narrow slit in the gate, and to make matters worse, opening and closing the gate are constantly packing it in. So you have this guillotine gate packing dust debris down into a tiny crevice on a regular basis. If you have been playing with blast gates for a while, you realize that cleaning out that packed in dust is a nuisance chore.
On a plastic gate, you are stuck with having to use a sharp tool to try and dig down into the crevice and loosen the packed in debris. With this Jet aluminum gate, you have the option of being able to unscrew the gate face and do a nice job of cleaning it out. You can even do that without having to disconnect the hoses, which makes it even less work.

Another nice feature about the Jet metal gate is that it has a locking knob. With the plastic gates, if they are not mounted sideways, then tend to slip slowly into a closed position. So if the gate is mounted with the flap sitting on top, with a plastic gate, gravity and vibration creates a gate closing movement. So I purposely mount them sideways in order to prevent that. That is not always the best angle depending on the configuration of your set up. With the Jet, having a locking knob, you can set it at any angle you want, and lock it into position. Nice feature.
All in all a very nice gate. Highly recommended.

Good Value
Plastic blastgates cost almost as much as their aluminum cousins. So why buy plastic?

Superb blastgates
I went straight to the aluminum after reading the reviews about the differences between aluminum and plastic. There is no reason to skimp on dust collection and these really make life easy. One per tool or hose connection and you are all set. No worrys about quality here. These are tough gates, made for years of use and abuse.

Heavy Duty Worker
This aluminum blastgate is a real workhorse, very well constructed and much more dependable than it's plastic cousin. The aluminum is put together with screws, the plastic blastgate is tack welded. When/if the tack weld loosens, you've lost your blastgate. Get the aluminum blastgate.

The aluminum will also hookup to the grounding system, making a much easier connection than the plastic gates. The only downside is that it is a little pricey, but a DC system is something that should be build to stay and to use, this aluminum blastgate will foot the bill. ... Read more
