Worked for Craftsman with a few modifications!
I have the Craftsman 14" Bandsaw (22424), also made by Reliant? It's a great saw, 2 speed, 1.5 horse motor. Unfortunately, though it [wasn't cheap] less than the Jet, it also had a 6" throat depth, and for resawing planks or rounding corners to turn a bowl, this was just not useful for me. I found the Jet accessory, and with modification time, by myself, I had this thing installed in less than an hour.

In order to proceed successfully, you need a handheld grinder and a table grinder with a decent wheel. You'll notice that while you're installing the kit the instructions are a bit off. You will need to remove the switch plate, but not unplug it as you would on the Jet. You have to do this in order to get at the screw hidden behind it. You also have to remove the 4 screws and take off the lower door to get at the lower plate. You need to grind off (or drill for new) studs that hold the top assembly to the base. There are 4 to grind - the ones on the new spacer block and the ones on the old block. It's pretty apparent, and you have to grind only about a half-inch from the 3/8" studs for the block to fit.

Once it's together (balance the screwhead/washer _inside_ the block while you carefully place the top, it will catch and hold the top upright while you tighten), you'll have to grind a 1/16" or so tenon about 1.5 inches up from the bottom of the saw-foot support column. You'll see what it looks like once you get the old one off. Once that's together, you're set, and can saw away. Mine's been holding up for awhile, even though I worried about the stability with the little studs gone. It's fine, and saws through 10" rounds like they were butter. As everyone else said, get a new blade right away. You'll be glad you did. A 105" 1/2" 3TPI blade works wonders for resawing.

This is a great deal, and gives you a whole new saw. You'll love it! I wish I could give it 10 stars! For [not very much money], I feel like I have a brand new [top of the line] saw.

Great addition....
If you do a lot of resaw or as in my case, make a lot of bandsaw box's this is a great addition. As other's have mentioned its a two person job, but the instructions and materials are top notch.I would also reccommend that you add Carter type guides to your saw at the same time. These really help with the resaw aspect and are a must for the small blades used in making bandsaw box's. The included blade wasn't much but I didnt think it would be, so no dissappointment there. The rest of the parts were good quality and everthing fit well. Took about twenty minutes to install and a few more minutes of adjusting. Thanks to the other reviewer for the tip on reinstalling the power cord. With a Timber Wolf 3/4" resaw blade I can now square up larger pieces of "firewood" to use for my bandsaw box's and it also enables me to get away from the 6x6 dimension that was my standard. I would reccommend this add on to anyone wishing to increase the size of material they can work with.

You better have the right tools, or 2 people
This would take 2 people with the right tools about 10 minutes. It took me 1 hour...mainly because I don't have a 15/16" wrench and my adjustable pliers would barely fit. Furthermore, my attmpt at hanging the upper arm from the rafters while tigtening the bolt 1/4" turn at a time was...uhh...nearly very dangerous. I am glad I made the purchase, but in the future would love to have known that I needed allen keys, and a crescent wrench set and someone to hold the upper arm while I tightened the nut. This thing is rock-solid, and makes resawing 12" quite the pleasure.

Still no riser block
Wish I could give an honest review of the actual product...don't let that disclaimer of shipment in 1 to 2 weeks fool you!!! I ordered mine on May 19th and as of today, July 8th, no riser block. Amazon continues to delay shipment every couple of weeks with an estimated delivery date now of sometime at the beginning of August. You would think that with the Jet bandsaw as one of their better sellers, they would keep a good number of these on hand. I am about to take my business elsewhere!

Added versatility can't be beat
...no matter where I looked, Including JET's own site, I could not come up with a listing of included parts, and the tiny picture of kit found on everyone's web site is nearly useless. Sure I trust JET -- but only to a point. For those like me who have modified their bandsaw with accessories like the Carter de-tensioner, or roller bearings, rest assured this kit will still fit, and you won't lose any functionality.

The parts in my kit were as follows:

1. Rear blade guard (metal, not the cheezy plastic that came with the saw)

2. Longer v-grooved shaft for the front/upper blade guard, enabling your upper guides to extend all the way to the table-top. Read the instructions carefully to install this one, or you'll be chasing a very small ball-bearing around your shop.

3. Front Blade Guard -- sheet metal, just like the original, but with an adjustable extension. Mine didn't quite fit the bolt holes, even on the OEM guide, but a couple passes with a file fixed it in short order.

4. Cast Aluminum Riser Block and hold-down screw.

5. 105" saw blade -- toss it out and buy a TimberWolf brand.

Assembly was a snap. Mine went together in about 20 minutes. The hardest part was balancing the upper roller assembly while tightening the hold-down screw. Not really too big of an issue, but a third hand to hold the bolt steady while you hand-tighten the nut would be helpful. Alternately, you could do as I did and use a piece of tape on the bolt head to keep it from turning as you snug the nut.

After it's all set according to included instructions, you may want to go one step further and tap a 10-32 hole in the back of the original lower cast aluminum bracket. It will allow you to re-use the original power cable loom (W shaped bracket) and thus keep the power cords from chafing on the lower blade door. The instructions don't call for this, but it's never a good idea to allow power cords to rub against sheet metal. ... Read more

Great little timesaver!
I'm not a home improvement enthusiast. Don't know why Amazon put that there. (Stupid!) I'm a hobby machinist.

I compared several different Asian made 5x6 bandsaws. Don't believe it when someone tells you they're all the same.

The Jet was very easy to assemble and use. Very solid base. UL approved motor that is bigger than some other bandsaws have. Nice fit-and-finish.

Some other ones I checked on needed to have additional bracing added due to a flimsy base. I had read about some of the others having motors prone to overheating and meltdown.

Bought mine locally for $249.99. Don't understand how Amazon can charge a $70 premium. Around $250 seems to be everyone's prices except Amazon. $319.99! Ridiculous!

Could be better
Problems on assembly:
1) Center hole on cast iron base @ both ends was not centered + did not line up to the leg cross brace. Fix: used air grinder to grind cross brace hole wider.
2) Instructions for the installing the adust. feet were vague. Just says use "provided hardware". Fix: used my incredible powers of observation and deduction to determine what goes where.
3) The leg cross brace opposite of motor has an interference problem w/switch box. Fix: ground the cross brace to form a notch to clear switch box.

Usage:
1) table for vertical cuts is flimsy. Only single support underneath - needs 2. could not level table since there is no adjustment.
2) Adjustment of eccentric bearing requires a thin wrench to fit between bearing + support casting.
3) The blade covering has to be put on "just right" otherwise interference with the stop bolt occurs.
4) When moving the miter vise plate, the hold down bolt interferes w/the screw that holds the scale strip. Loosening the bolt enough will get past the interference unless the angle you want is right where the interference occurs.

In general:
The motor has enough power for cuts. I've been cutting 4130 .125 steel and the motor never bogged down. Horizontal cuts is this machines best use. vertical cutting leaves a lot to be desired but this could be because the blade's tooth pitch did not match up to the metal type. But,as stated above, the table doesn't help.

Great little tool
This is a great tool for cutting metal. Works as well as expected. Requires few adjustments. Just setup and go. I really like mine. ... Read more

Because shop disc sanders are often used for quick little jobs, they tend to not get hooked up to a dust collector with every use. This new model from JET solves that problem by including its own built-in high airflow dust collection impellor and 2-micron canister filter. Any time you turn it on--whether for 15 minutes of serious sanding or 30 seconds of cleaning up a saw cut--your dust is collected and your shop air stays clean. The machine runs on a 1-horsepower, totally enclosed, fan-cooled motor that provides ample power for any sanding task you come up with. It has a hefty 12-inch steel disc, with a manual brake for quickly slowing it down and stopping. You also get a generous cast-iron table that tilts from 90 to 45 degrees, along with a miter gauge and circle jig. All in all, this is a great sander at a great price that will provide a long life of service in your shop. --Brian Trinen ... Read more

Reduce Hose Size, Increase Air Suction
If you need to step down in the DC system, which is recommended, this works great. The ends are to size stated, the hose fit easily and the wire clamps put it all together snuggly. The fitting allows you to step down from a larger main line to smaller branch lines near the machine, thus increasing the air suction, where it's needed most, by the machine.

Does not adapt the JET 6" Jointer to a "standard" shop vac
This adapter had the proper O.D. on the 2.5" side so that the end of my shop vac. hose fit in properly. But the dust chute on the 6" JET Jointer I bought from Amazon.com has the same O.D. as the nominally 4" side of this adapter (so they don't fit together well). No big deal for me: what I did was take a thin-blade hack saw, slice four cuts at 90 degree separation in the walls of the ~4" end, slip it over the dust chut on the jointer, wrap duct tape around the outside of the adapter's large end (while attached to the jointer), and now I've got a removable adapter that actually works. If you can't find the right part (I could not, looking high and low), this is a reasonable solution for those who can handle the minor frustration of the imperfect solution.

The two most popular sizes can now talk to one another
This adapter is great for mating the popular 2 1/2" vacuum hose size to your 4" hoses. This 4" is a male end that will fit well into your 4" hose acting as a female, and the 2 1/2" end is a female that will receive your 2 1/2" hose as a male. :-) I don't know why that is so funny, but it strkes me that way. That is the best description I can give it. These Jet adapters fit perfectly.
To securely connect this adapter, I suggest that you buy the Jet wire connectors, instead of the standard band clamps. Since most dust collection hoses have a wire running through them, band clamps can not compress them. The Jet wire clamp goes around the wire in the hose, and it grips the material directly to the fitting. I tried using the band clamps, and after having to reattach them on a regular basis, I went to the Jet 4" wire clamps, that is why I am making such a big deal out of it. I have never had to retighten, or reinstall the hose on the adapter since. The wire clamps work perfectly. Highly recommended.

Fits great!
The description by Robert Feeser (one of the top 500 reviewers in Amazon) explains 'This adapter is great for mating the popular 2 1/2" vacuum hose size to your 4" hoses. This 4" is a male end that will fit well into your 4" hose acting as a female, and the 2 1/2" end is a female that will receive your 2 1/2" hose as a male. :-) I don't know why that is so funny, but it strikes me that way. That is the best description I can give it. These Jet adapters fit perfectly'.

Not as pictured
The adapter I received has a flat interface, not the funnel style shown. That makes a difference if using the piece with the airflow going from 4" to 2 1/2" due to increased turbulence.

If you're planning to use this downstream from large to small diameter then I suggest you find one that is indeed funnel-shaped. ... Read more

A 16 amp motor and four post locks make JET's 12-1/2-inchportable planer a high-powered, remarkably sturdy shop tool. JET'splaner uses two double-edged knives, which you can also sharpen to makeyour blades last. A thermal overload switch monitors the tool's motor,automatically shutting it down if the motor heats up more than itshould--another nice feature that adds life to a planer. The cutterheadcranks up to handle 6-inch material, or cranks down to clean up veneeras thin as 1/16 inch. The tool weighs 69 pounds, so it has good heftand stability while remaining "portable." When the planer is not inuse, the 10-inch extension wings fold up for storage. Two pass-backrollers on top of the planer make it easy for a spotter to slide longerpieces back to the guy feeding the planer; it's not a big deal,perhaps, but it's the sort of attention to detail we've come to expectfrom JET. Here's another: the on/off switch detaches, so you can lockthe planer in the off position when it's not in use, keeping yourworkshop safe from curious hands. --Jon Groebner ... Read more

Great planer!
I have had this planer for over two years!
Have run 100's of board feet of white oak through it with NO problems at all.

I always thought that this planer would not make it with my use but it keeps working great. The depth adjustment is always right on for me. For some time I have been thinking that a bigger planer should be in my shop. Many times the depth of cut was pretty deep just to see if I could burn this one up and have an excuse to get a bigger planer....well it just won't burn up!

You need the additional dust collection chute for this unit. It's a must to have it connected to a dust collector, will NOT run without it!

Be aware of what you really need in a planer...
I do small remodeling and custom cabinet work. When I looked into purchasing a 12" planer the Jet unit seemed to be the right choice. It arrived o.k. and worked out of the box. Now, here comes the kicker...what I really required was a much heavier unit to accomplish my type of work.

The unit spits out quite a bit of wood chips and there is no dust collection included. After calling Jet, and paying a whopping [money], plus handling, the simple metal accessory arrived (4" connection) and accomplished the necessary dust connection for my big collector.

The next problem showed up in the height adjustment setting. You test the demensioning of a piece of stock, set the depth adjustment a bit tighter, and begin your first run. The vibration shakes the machine and the depth adjustment handle begins a slow return to a less pressure position. Simply put, it opens the gap. The "fix" was positioniong a clamp each time a new adjustment is required to hold the handle in place. This is a bother!

The next problem came with the two rollers on top. They fell off! I gathered the fallen pins and after applying "lock tight", reinstalled them. This fixed this problem!

The primary problem is in my application. I have attempted to run "old" reclaimed cypress and pine through the planer and I get a lot of noise and little planing! The TWO planer blades and the SMALL MOTOR don't have the power to handle this work.

So...if you are a hobby type of person looking for a cheap way to plane your stock; well, there is no cheap way to accomplish it. You will have to settle for small width boards (less power required), soft woods with few knots (less power requjired) and get your clamp out to hold the adjustment.

On the plus side for the Jet, the planer blades can be removed and replaced with the jig (included with your planer)in short order. You must attach the two jig fittings to the bar and position them properly; there is a front and back to the contact points. Anyone with commom skills can make quick work of all this.

For me, I'm purchasing the next Jet in the HP chain, the [money] unit which I hope will solve all these problems.

If you only have [money], and can fit into the mold above, go for it. But, remember what I've told you.

All this from a fellow woody kind of a guy.

Best of Class
After several months of review reading and research I picked the Jet. Several woodworking mags rated it higher than the Delta and a better value than the Ryobi. Here's the clincher - JET CUSTOMER SERVICE IS AMAZING. I may just buy all Jet tools from her on out because the Customer Service Dept is so incredibly helpful and accomodating (ask for Dan - he's the man!). Happy sawdust making.

Early returns are good!
Have only had the planer for a few days. So far so good. It's much quieter than I had expected and the feed rate is smooth. Came packed quite well with no damage and very little set-up. You attach the handle and adjust the levelness of the tables. The tables are very large compared to the Delta and include a great roller on the ends. Easy to level. I was a little concerned with the finish... as in the the paint job. There are places on it where the paint was slopped on. You can tell the guy with the spray gun stayed in one place too long. There are also some areas on the bottom where the paint is already chipped. Jet seems to think that's ok and actually includes a small can of paint with the planer. That's good because I can also touch up my bandsaw with it. The motor seems to be quite stout and the adjustment handle works well. I haven't used the head lock mechanism yet and probably won't. The four columns seem to work well. There are springs below the head cutter and they creak and shift when you move the head. Not a big deal but can be a bit disconcerting. The thickness gauge was right on and I didn't have to adjust it. Still not sure how accurate the depth of cut gauge is though. Looks a bit gimmicky so far. Overall a great planer and I'm very excited to use it more. I'm saving a fifth star for a year from now when I have a better idea of its durability.

precision portable planner
Having this planer only one week, im already throughly impressed with this Jet product. There was virtually no set up time in aligning the table with the input/out feed rollers. So i was using it within 20 minutes after unpacking the item(packed and shipped well). Great control of snipe, by the use of the locking tabs and extended rollers. Excellent height indicater and the machine isn't that loud, but sure can create quite the saw dust. I think my next purchase is the 4 inch dust hood attachment. You can't bet the vaule of Jet, along with the great price. ... Read more

The Best For Hooking Up Hoses
I've tried the band type of clamp and they simply do not hold over the long haul. The wire clamps allow you to tighten the clamp down for a firm grip in the fixture. My opinion, the wire clamps are the best thing since sliced bread for hooking up a duct collection system.

The Best Clamp...The Best Price
If your hooking up a dust collection system, the proper clamps can make all of the difference. The standard band type clamps are not properly suited to the job. The unique thing about dust collection hoses, is that they are generally made out of smooth, slippery plastic, with a stiff wire running through them for support and/or grounding. This poses a problem for standard band clamps, because the clamp is too wide to get between the wires. Therefore you have a clamp pushing down on the wire. Since the wire is rigid and in a circle, you would have to compress the circle (ain't gonna happen). Therefore a wire clamp such as these, with twin rigid wires is just what the doctor ordered.
I tried everything from duct tape, which gets soft after a while and loses it, to band clamps. When I finally got a set of these, my hoses stay put, and they don't leak. They are easy to install, and you can put a good torque on them, and not have to worry so much about them messing the thread the way a band clamp does. With the Jet 4" wire hose clamp you are dealing with a nut and a threaded bolt instead of a screw and some sheet metal. Definitely a lot stronger with the Jet wire.
The bottom line, when attaching a 10 foot-4" vac hose to a plastic 4" fitting, you can pick up the hose, move it around, and not worry about the hose coming off, the way it does with the band clamps sometimes.
Great unit, great price, get a few extras. Hope this helps.

Hands Down - The Best Clamp
I read other reviews before purchasing this clamp and am really glad I did. What I like is that the wires make great contact between the ribs of the hose and screw down very tight. Later I purchased the flat band kind from a local store and agree that this wire type is much better. It's much beefier than I thought it would be. Definitely the best clamp I've come across.

Great product to get you to [a minumum qualifiying dollar amount]

JET is a favorite with woodworkers because of power, precision, and quality. Mounted atop a rock-solid closed cabinet are a 6-inch wide belt sander as well as a 9-inch disc sander, each with an angle-capable work table and miter gauge slot--two slots, actually, on the disc sander table for cross-disc work as well as straight-on sanding. Jet took the quality a notch higher on this model by putting a graphite sheet on the belt platen, keeping the temperature down and extending belt life. Tracking is sometimes tricky with belt sanders, so we're glad to see the single tracking adjustment knob and the quick-lock handle that keeps the belt from wandering. Changing belts is a snap--just release the belt tension lever. The 4-inch dust port accepts a standard dust-collection system hose and draws from both sanders, keeping the mess out of your shop and your lungs. The 3/4-horsepower motor runs the belt sander at 2258 rpm and the disc at 1725 rpm, enough to handle big jobs without bogging down. There's even space in the cabinet to store abrasives.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste ... Read more

Jet 708597K Combination 9" Disc / 6" x 48" Belt Sander
Purchased in February 2004 to replace a smaller sander that wore out after 15 years. I was impressed with the quality of the machine. Tracking was easily set up and has stayed true. Plenty of power, smooth operation and the vaccuum system is helpful in dust removal. Only negative was in the foot lever to lock the wheels which bent if I engaged the lock with a foot. Worked fine if one used a hand to set the lock. This flimsey locking mechanism should be improved.

EXCELLENT VALUE
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS UNIT. IT IS MY FIRST JET PRODUCT AND I AM VERY SATISFIED WITH THE QUALITY AND OPERATION. WAS A LITTLE SKEPTICLE AT FIRST BECAUSE OF THE SMALLER H.P. MOTOR , BUT SOON FOUND OUT THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM.

Great Sander - Great Value
I bought this sander from Tool Crib a few months ago. It wasn't on the Amazon.com site at the time.

I went with the open stand because I wanted some storage below. Not sure if that's an option thru Amazon.com.

The sander was easy to set up. The fit and finish was excellent. It runs smooth, though the graphite platen behind the belt sander it somewhat noisy. It seems to have quieted a bit with more use. Bits of the graphite material get all over the place for about the first 15 mins of use but that seems to have taken care of itself.

I found the belt a little tough to adjust as to maintain a given lateral position on the rollers. This is my first belt sander so that might just be due my lack of familiararity with the machine.

The sander has ample power. I have yet to get it to bog down on pine, maple or white oak. The tables are very good. The disk table is machined cast iron and well built. The belt table seems to be pressed from heavy sheet metal but has worked fine for me. It's not flimsy at all. It was fairly easy to square everything up and set the stops. Though on the belt table, I had to leave a little extra gap between the belt and the table because when you tighten the table locks, it seems to pull the table toward the belt. Not a big deal though.

Dust collection is better than I expected. There are sliding panels in the rear of the sander to direct the collection from either the disk or belt sander area. I thought this was good idea. I have a 1-1/2 HP Delta dust collector located about 15 feet from the sander and the combination seems to do a good job at keeping the sanding dust down.

Other than the preceeding minor issues, I think this is a great sander. The value is hard to beat, if not impossible to beat. I find that the sander is very stable on the open stand. It gives me extra storage with a shop-made plywood shelf and saved me a few bucks. Though the closed stand does look nice I though function was more important.

I recommend this sander highly. ... Read more

Don't Get Hosed !!
This is an excellent Dust Collection Hose. It does measure a consistent 4" and always fit easily over the connection fitting. It is somewhat flexible and very rigid, but will not coil back into itself. This might be a problem if you move your equipment back and forth.

The other hose options are a Clear Hose, which allows you to see any possible clugs and air blocks in the DC system. And there is a 50 foot coil hose, which is not as rigid, but it is sturdy and it will coil back into itself, allowing for the movement of machinery.

I used all three in my DC system. The clear hose where large particles would be generated (lathe, bore machine), the 10 foot rigid hose in areas that would always remain fixed in location. And the 50 foot coil hose (cut up, of course) on machine that I move back and forth from the wall to the garage floor. I don't have endless space in the garage for all the "needed" equipment I have to use.

All three hoses work just fine, no problems, no issues.

Works Great!
I use several of these hoses in my shop to connect power tools to my Jet vacuum system. They work great. They work the best with the wire clamps. I recommend using a distribution of rigid plastic or metal pipe to get to the woodworking machine, then use one of these hoses to connect the machine to the rigid system. These hoses also can be used to vacuum the floor or other areas but are a bit clumsey due to the large diameter. ... Read more

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.

If you like having the proper tool on hand, you need this
I hated having to run to the hardware store whenever I needed to tap a hole I didn't have the right tool for. This set has just about any size you could imagine needing, in metric and standard, in starting taps and bottom taps, and small pipe threads too. The quality of the taps and dies are high, although one of my tap holders was kind of cheesy. The case is also nice - the pieces are encased in a hard-rubber form that is well-marked and protects them well. I think it's worth the money, especially if it prevents a few time-consuming trips to the hardware store! ... Read more

Great product, awful packaging
I find this a fine product for light work. It does double duty as a convenient wide-jawed clamp or spreader.

But whoever designed the hard plastic packaging should spend eternity in hell unwrapping these things. NO thought was given to the buyer's convenience. Even with sharp industrial shears, it is VERY difficult to remove from the packaging. I would not buy another for that reason alone. In fact, the one I received already had half the package cut away as if someone had given it up and returned it rather than bloody his fingers.

Pretty nice system but needs to be improved
This seems like a good system so I bought one. It provides a swivel base and a quick-release bar clamp. Upon mounting on a table, it does seem to provide a very verstatile way to hold various objects. However, two problems soon become evident. First, the whole system has a lot of play in it, so it is not really designed for any activity that would exert more than moderate force (such as hack-sawing) on the object. Secondly, there is a defect in the design that when you clamp the system onto a table, the release on the bar clamp is practically touching the table, which makes it rather cumbersome and hard to swivel the clamp or tighten or loosen the clamp. Back to the drawing board.

Really Great Idea!!!
I was skeptical about this clamp/spreader until I got it home! It is amazingly versatile! If you dont understand what I mean click on the picture to see how this clamp works!

The odd dome looking piece on the under side of the clamp is used to attach it to the side of a bench. And when you tighten this down to the edge of the table make sure you don't over tighten. Most people will tighten it as much as possible but thanks to the rubberized grips it just isnt necessary. Give it a comfortable hand tighten and it holds VERY securley! One note the bench must be no larger than 2 1/4".

The clamp itself can be removed from the bench attachment. While seated in the bench attachment you can swivel the clamp 360 degrees. And it does have positive detents for secure locking. You should also receive 2 sets of pads to be used on the clamp. One is smooth and the other has a no slip tread. Wilton also includes some project plans for variouse tasks. There are a few good ideas in there so check it out.

The depth of the Clamp is 3inches from the bar to the top of the rubber pad. And the jaws open up to about 13 1/2 inches. ... Read more
