Product Information:

Jet Red Assurance Program


This model 708404 sander is ideal for sanding contours and those hard to reach spots that other sanders just can't get to. This sander provides a scratch free finish due to the oscillating action of the spindle. Features include a 1/2HP motor, a large cast-iron table that tilts to handle all bevel sanding projects and built in dust collection. Five spindle sizes are included as standard equipment: 2", 1-1/2", 5/8", 1/2", and 1/4" as well as two round and two oblong table inserts. A larger 3" spindle is available as an accessory.

  • Spindles have threaded ends for quick, easy changes
  • Built-in storage racks keep spindles and table inserts handy
  • 1" oscillating action reduces friction heat to protect wood and prolong sleeve life
  • Table inserts help prevent the dust and debris from falling into the motor; help protect operator
  • Powerful 1/2HP induction motor easily handles the toughest sanding projects

    Comments about Jet Benchtop Spindle Sander Model 708404 :

    Mine is almost two years old. Bearings are going out. I should have taken it back while it was still under warranty - It made bearing noise right out of the box - but the noise has gotten really bad now. In fact I should have returned the day I bought it. The spindle was not square to the table from day one. I spent about an hour trueing it, but never really got it perfect. I'm just going to let the bearing burn the motor out and then go get a different machine.

    Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Comments about Jet Benchtop Spindle Sander Model 708404 :

    3" spindle and table plate are optional and too expensive. Difficult to adjust spindle for squareness if factory alignment is off. Had to use duct tape and wood to create a adequate seal for dust collection Odd size dust collection port Table inserts had to be shimmed to get them level with top Minor stuff but it made setup time consuming Otherwise it works well

    Comments about Jet Benchtop Spindle Sander Model 708404 :

    Smooth, powerful, and quiet. It does a good job sanding. I haven't had time to make the bowls I bought it for; however, it has been very handy on other projects-'backcutting' miters for baseboards and quarter round for a very tight fit. This will become a staple in the shop.
