My old Performax 16/32 is getting a bit "long in the tooth" and a 10% off sale on Supermax sanders might be enough to get me to act.
I have a couple of concerns and am interested in your feedback. My target machine is the 25/50 with the closed stand. I'm a bit concerned that is has the same 1 3/4hp motor as their 19/38 sander and worry that it might be under powered. I could move up to their 25x2 double drum unit and have 5hp with 240v but lose the ability to run a second pass on a wide piece. I've had quite a few occasions to run a wide table top through my 16/32 and really like having that option.
I'm just a hobbyist and the machine would see fairly light use but worry that it might be under powered.
I also see that Jet has a 22/44 machine with a 240v 3hp motor.
Your opinions and experience would be most welcome.
