JET OES-80CS Oscillating Edge Sander
The JET Oscillating Edge Sander brings the power of a belt sander
augmented with oscillation that distributes abrasive belt wear over a
wider area and reduces heat buildup. The result is increased
performance and an extended abrasive life. The JET Oscillating
Edge Sander has many features that increase its versatility while
maintaining its user-friendly operation. Everything from a large cast
iron table, bevel sanding, contour sanding and more means that the
JET Oscillating Edge Sander handles more sanding jobs with less
effort and more accuracy.
An all steel enclosed base cabinet is included that supports the JET
Oscillating Edge Sander and adds valuable storage space for
abrasive belts and related tools or supplies. The base cabinet is 21 ½”-wide by 16 ½”-
deep (front to back) and 23 ¾”-tall. That gives the 270-LB JET Oscillating Edge Sander a
steady footing while putting the table surface at a comfortable 37 ½” above the floor. The
extensive use of high-end materials and manufacturing processes enable us to back the
JET Oscillating Edge Sander with a full 5-year warranty.

Power
The JET Oscillating Edge Sander features a JET 1 1/2HP, 115/230V
(pre-wired 115V) TEFC (totally enclosed fan cooled) motor. JET
motors are rated using a continuous duty cycle for a true
representation of the power available rather than “max developed” or
“peak” motor estimates so commonly seen in woodworking today.
That means that the JET motor delivers plenty of power to make the
JET Oscillating Edge Sander efficient and consistent.

jobs.
A simple, but effective, industrial style pushbutton switch controls
the JET Oscillating Edge Sander. Mounted on the front, the switch is
within easy reach when operating the JET Oscillating Edge Sander.
Sanding Belt Drive
The motor power is transmitted to the 6”-wide by 89”-long abrasive belt via a 4 ¼”-
diameter, rubber covered aluminum drum. That results in a 3900 SFPM (surface feet per
minute) belt speed, optimum for sanding virtually any species of wood with the wide
range of grits available for the JET Oscillating Edge Sander. The rubber coated drum
insures smooth, slip-free transfer of the motor power for highly consistent sanding. An
equally sized aluminum drum on the other end actually imparts the oscillating motions to
the belt while keeping it tracking correctly.

times per minute. This benefits the
user by utilizing a much larger area
of the belt than with straight-line
belt sanders. Also the oscillating
action prevents loading of the
sandpaper in one area, stretching the
life of the sanding belt to its fullest
potential. Another great feature of
the oscillating action results in
greater heat reduction. By using
more of the belt, heat is not focused in one area and helps prevent burning of the work

The rubber-coated drive drum (left) insures consistent, slip-free
operation. The idler drum with its oscillating action and belt
tensioning mechanism (right) make this a very effective sander.
A simple lever-operated tension release makes changing the belt fast, easy and tool free.
Even the belt guard can be removed and installed with a pair of large finger-operated
knobs. A top-mounted belt tracking system is adjusted using an included wrench. The
motor mount also has a (coarse) tracking adjustment should that ever become necessary.
