permanently lubricated ball bearings. The drum assembly is mounted in a truss-like carriage arm for superior strength and rigidity. This system also makes aligning the drum to the table surface easy. That means consistent performance with minimal adjusting by the operator.
The drum is equipped with patented abrasive take-up fasteners that make changing the abrasive strips fast and easy. We also include our exclusive Tuf Tool™ that makes operating the take-up fasteners a no-strain event.

Table and Feed
The expansive conveyor surface is expanded even further with the included steel extension tables. (left) Easy to use conveyor belt tension adjusters (right) even have the necessary wrench captured on the bolt!
The generous 23”-wide by 30 ¾”-long conveyor platform is augmented by the included 10”-deep by 24”-wide steel extension tables. That provides 51” of overall support that handles the big jobs with ease.
The conveyor belt features easy to use tension and tracking adjusters. Each adjuster has a built-in wrench captured on the threaded shaft so you never have to look for a tool to make a small adjustment! Plus, our patented conveyor belt TRACKERS™ dramatically reduce the need for manual belt adjustments.
The specially designed, no-give conveyor belt moves over a precision flattened steel bed so the wood is always on a true surface. That means super smooth, consistent sanding for the best possible results.
The JET 22-44 Pro-3 Drum Sander uses a separate feed motor to drive the conveyor belt. That insures consistency but also allowed us to develop our EXCLUSIVE SandSmart™ variable-feed control system. This infinitely variable feed rate control operates between 0 to 10 feet per minute so you can use the best rate for the job. The SandSmart™ technology also prevents straining the machine by sensing the load on the conveyor and automatically reducing the feed rate to help prevent burning of the wood or the abrasive.
Our exclusive SandSmart circuitry protects against overloads by automatically slowing the feed rate to prevent damage to the wood, abrasive strip or motor.
