JET JOVS-10 Oscillating Spindle Sander

Oscillating spindle sanders have a unique set of capabilities that
make sanding odd-shaped work pieces easy and accurate. The JET
JOVS-10 Oscillating Spindle Sander packs those capabilities and
more into one tough machine with the capacity, power and
reliability you expect from the JET brand.

Solid Base and Power

The all steel base cabinet gives the JET JOVS-10 Oscillating Spindle
Sander a solid footing and puts the table surface at a comfortable 39”
above the floor. It also encloses the heavy-duty 1HP, 1Ph, 115V TEFC
(totally enclosed, fan cooled) motor. The motor is mounted directly to
the worm and heavy gear mechanism that generates the 75 oscillations
per minute while turning the spindle at a consistent 1725-RPM. The
gear and worm drive run in an oil bath that insures many years of
smooth, quiet and dependable operation.

strong, smooth and

An industrial-style pushbutton switch set is mounted on the front of the
cabinet to be within easy reach. The guarded On switch helps prevent
accidental starts. Storage racks on either side of the base cabinet keep
the spindle assemblies and inserts organized and close at hand. A large
door on the rear of the cabinet provides ample access to the motor and
drive housings.

Spindles and Support

The JET JOVS-10 Oscillating Spindle Sander comes with a
complete set of 10 spindles and abrasive sleeves so you have the
tooling you need to get to work right out of the box! Spindle sizes
included are ¼” X 5” (steel), 3/8” X 6” (steel), ½” X 6” (steel),
5/8” X 6” (steel), ¾” X 9” (steel), 1” X 9” (rubber), 1 ½” X 9”
(rubber), 2” X 9” (rubber), 3” X 9” (rubber), 4” X9” (rubber).
Each spindle comes with one abrasive sleeve.

We include a full set of

10 spindles to handle all

of your sanding jobs!

Because nearly all of our sanding spindles and sleeves remain above the table, it is
possible to sand thick material without having to flip the piece over during sanding. That
makes sanding faster and far more accurate. That above table length also allows sanding
multiple pieces at the same time, making that once tedious process fast and accurate.

Due to the oversized length of the sanding spindles users
are capable of removing the sanding sleeves and flipping
them end for end, utilizing the whole sanding sleeve
before finding a need to replace them.

The length of our spindles and

abrasive sleeves means you can often

turn the sleeves end for end to double

their life!

Just below the table is the main spindle drive and support
mechanism. The 1-1/2" oscillating action produced by
this mechanism reduces the buildup of friction-based heat

to protect the wood and prolong the abrasive sleeve life.
The main spindle support runs on precision ball bearings for smooth, trouble-free
operation.

We also made installing or changing the spindles fast and easy while insuring proper
alignment and secure mounting. Each spindle has a tapered arbor with a threaded end that
draws it into the precision-machined arbor housing. Wrenches are included for installing
or removing spindles.

Tilting Table

safe. That table
also tilts
(forward) up to 45 degrees and can be locked at any point to handle virtually any bevel
sanding operation. An adjustable stop makes returning the table to the horizontal position
fast and accurate.

The center hole of the JET JOVS-10 Oscillating Spindle Sander table has a large 6 1/8”­diameter opening for using the larger sanding sleeves even with the table tilted. We
include three snap-in inserts with 3 ¼”, 2 1/8” and 1 ½” openings (at the narrowest point)
that help stabilize the work piece close to the sanding drum. The specially shaped insert
