## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long does a 3 inch wide roll abrasive need to be cut to fit the JWDS 1836?**
A: 91" is the length of the 80 grit roll that came off the machine that was pre-installed for me.  I ordered some extra rolls from Jet and none of them fit as they were at least 2" shorter than the factory installed roll.  I called Jet and they don't know what the length should be and said they would check and get back to me.  They never did call me back.  Now I have to sand the rest of the panels by hand until I can get paper that fits this drum.

**Q: have these really gone from 1300 to 2500 in 3 years?**
A: I paid $1963.99 this year with free shipping from Amazon. Could have paid same price locally but would have paid $199.00 shipping.

**Q: Where do I find replacement ready to wrap paper? I can find it for 16-32 and 22-44 but not this machine.**
A: JET abrasive wraps for this machine are 60-18036/60/80/100/120/150/180/220

Abrasive strips are 3-3/8” wide, cloth backed, and aluminum oxide.

**Q: Replacement sand paper pre cut**
A: Yes. You can purchase replacement sand paper pre-cut.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Time saver
*by M***O on February 15, 2025*

I’ve owned this 18/36 Jet drum sander about a year. I’m glad I spend the extra for the 18” model over the 16”. One end is open so it can handle wider pieces. The sanding drum was challenging to change the first time, but I got the hang of it, and it’s fairly easy now. Great addition to my shop and a huge time saver

### ⭐ "Jet" and "Initial Quality" are often opposites
*by M***L on February 15, 2018*

I own a number of Jet / Powermatic machines ( same company ). Why? My experience with these tools says they work well once you fix all of the faults the company created. What you need to know going in is that these faults may be many in number and expensive to resolve. This machine is a perfect case in point.To start with, the shipping was totally bungled. Jet sent the machine alone with no stand. I sought resolution via Amazon, and Amazon was very helpful. Anyway, ultimately I had the stand. It proved to be solid ad easy to assemble. I thought I was on my way, at last. I was dead wrong.When I had the machine on the stand and fired it up I was greeted by the sound of grinding and tearing. One of the two ceramic "trackers" had detached from the magnets that held it to the machine in shipping (there was no damage to the machine's box to indicate mishandling in shipment - none at all). It shattered, leaving rough fragments that tore up the machine's conveyor belt. Considering the already ridiculous history here I decided my priority should be on finally getting the machine running. I have work to do, orders to fill, and time is, indeed, money. I therefore dropped over $100 to get a new conveyor belt and set (of 2) trackers. The belt arrived last week, the tracker order only today. True to form, Jet screwed up that order. There were supposed to be two trackers in the kit. The box contained only one. Just to make the experience complete the one that arrived is defective. One of the magnets had detached - the same defect that ruined the original conveyor belt. I called Jet and they said they'd send a replacement set. It took 2 weeks to arrive and - you guessed it - the magnets were, again, detached from the ceramic part.Sure, I could glue them on with CA glue, which I did, and hope they work / stay attached. I can't call Jet for advice because obviously they do not know how to keep them attached!Anyway, I am using the machine now and am learning how to deal with inconsistent dimensional results.It is not what I hoped it would be. I am glad to now have a drum sander, but have no confidence at all that I made the right choice by buying this one.I am at the breaking point.P.S. - another reviewer wrote that the Kreg coasters did not work with this stand. My experience was the total opposite. They fit and function like a dream!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rock solid
*by R***L on May 5, 2024*

I had no idea how much I needed this machine. I use it on every project now. Saves so much time.
