Popular Post Chestnut Posted January 9, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Starting a thread for those that might be interested in a supermax sander. I figured if someone wanted to post a future sale here as well it might help those that are looking. I was talking to Woodcraft and the salesman dropped a very strong hint that the Supermax 16-32 will be on sale starting Feb 1st 2018 for $999 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan G Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 I have an older 16/32 performax. It struggles to hold settings. Been looking at the 19/38 Supermax. Would be a nice upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been looking at the 19/38 Supermax. Would be a nice upgrade I'd wait for a while on the 19-38. Also from the woodcraft guy was that the 19-38 is going to get upgraded with the same features as the 16-32 (fast adjust lever, DRO, Conveyor motor). I guess moving the conveyor motor to the other side making the top of the belt a pull motion instead of a push motion helped with some feed issues. I don't really see how it's much different but i guess it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleedinblue Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Surprisingly, so far I haven't used the fast adjust lever. It's nearly as fast to crank the handle to adjust a couple inches. Not surprisingly, I don't use the DRO (though I'm sure I will at some point) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course It is only handy if you know what the original readout was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodbutcher74 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 I wonder if this is a manufacturer sale or if it is at Woodcraft only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdwerker Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 I'm happy with cranking the height up and down so the quick adjust isn't that big of a draw for me. But then they had to go and make folding tables for the 19/28 ! Really don't want to spend another $129 but it sure would make storing it a lot easier. Guess I will have to make up my mind before I build the drawer base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_r_ Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Nice. I figured that 16-32 would drop in price soon. They were just asking too much for it and priced it too closely to the 19-38. I bet AcmeTools would price match with Woodcraft just in case its only a Woodcraft deal. But I bet itll be an across the board price drop. Glad I held off!

RichardA Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 I read it as $100. per inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally don't think that the asking price was too close to the 19-38, the new 19-38 is probably going to be $1499-$1599 after the add the quick lever modify the feed belt and add in the DRO. jets 16-32 is only $100 cheaper and doesn't have DRO from factory. The subjective debate is if the supermax is inherently better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been on my radar for years to upgrade my Jet 16-32 but want to be patient if new model is coming out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdwerker Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 It collects far more than my original 20+ year old 16/32 ever did. 1 1/2 hp dust collector w a 12' x 4" flex hose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't know try the woodcraft in Bloomington MN that's who told me about it. 15 hours ago, Pondhockey said: Do any of you Supermax owners have opinions about the dust collection?

Minnesota Steve Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 I got a black friday flyer from Rockler and Woodcraft and it looks like the Supermax 16-32 is back on sale for $999. I think I have just enough room in my shop for one. Not sure I can sneak it past the wife though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's held it's calibration well. At least i believe it has. Performance is quite good and I've not had any issues. I use it quite a bit as well.
