I found these tables to be almost essential for my Jet 16-32 drum sander. I highly recomend. They should be standard equipment with the machine and not an option. They were easy to install and I have had no problems keeping them flush with the platen belt.
These need a design change that allows something other than a mallet to adjust them. Once adjusted they work fine, but installing them properly can put you in a bad mood. As a retired machine shop supervisor, I could design something myself that would work well, but it's more trouble than it's worth, unless I have to repeatedly re-adjust them. I spent more than an hour screwing with them.
The Infeed/Outfeed tables provide helpful additional staging space on the 16/32 drum sander. I added them to simplify the alignment process - they enable "fine" adjustments which is not practical with only "nut and bolt" connections. Assembly was simple, but installation would have been enhanced if lockwashers had been included with the kit.
Easy to install, easy to set-up and a big help in using the sander. It would be nice if the tables could fold down.
I will begin by saying that the tables are a bit overpriced. I suggest that you bite the bullet and pick up a pair. Having said that they were easy to install and keeping them flat with the drum sander bed is not difficult at all. They should be included with the drum sander, as using the sander on stock over 36" would be very difficult without them.
