Does anyone know a Jet supplier who will ship to Canada? They all say they won't ship international. I can only find 2 - A Delta from Busybee Tools ($270 shipping) and an "X-pert" brand by Rona.

If you are interested, Jet has their tools and sale. Among others, this includes the 16-32 Plus drum sander. I bought one from Tool Zone Inc. so the 5 year Jet warranty is included. Stand is included. No tax and free shipping delivered to my door for $799.99. This is $200 less than the $999.99 that Amazon and the the other suppliers are asking (many of which charge tax too). Tool Zone's accessories (infeed-outfeed tables, casters) are a little cheaper too. http://www.toolzone.com/ 866-930-8665 Ed |

This is a cross the board Jet sale. Amazon has the same price, etc. http://www.amazon.com/629004K-16-Inch-2 ... 011&sr=8-3 Regardless, it is a very good deal. Now if I was looking for a competitive deal, I would try to get someone to throw in the casters. Mike |

Can you not just use any old casters? |

At the time I placed my order Amazon had the $999 price. They have since come down. Mike O'Melia wrote: This is a cross the board Jet sale. Amazon has the same price, etc.

(weight wise they are good for 110# each = 450# total against 145# total sander weight) http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=21729 The price is nice. Ed |

Then if you want to buy from a dealer there is a large markup and never any sales. Never any for sale used in Ontario either. I am going down to the states next week to get one. |

What burns my butt is a search on Sears.com has lots of drum sanders including Jet but Sears.ca has zero (and sears has $5 shipping on large items like the jointer I bought).

I'm getting the $50 ones from Rockler today that are on sale for $25/set. The Jet casters were $110/set plus shipping! Ed |

I went to Rockler today. The manager pulled the Jet casters down ($150 plus tax!!) and opened them to determine the size for me. ![[clap]](./images/smilies/smiley32.gif "adulations") The Jet's were 1/2" stems. I spent an extra $10 and bought the (on sale) $35/set of locking Rockler casters with 1/2" stems (110lbs x 4 capacity) instead of the 3/8" stem casters. (same capacity $25 on sale online).The Jet's were bigger and heavier, but the Rockler's are more than I need given how seldom and how short a distance I'll move the drum sander. They will work fine for and save me about $80+ compared to the cheaper Tool Zone price of $110 plus shipping for the Jet's.  Ed |
