Overview
The Powermatic 31A is a 6 x 48 inch belt and 12 inch disc combination sander built around a 1.5 HP motor wired for 115 or 230 volt single phase. It matches the belt, disc and motor spec of JET's 12 inch combo sanders under Powermatic's own line.
Powermatic and JET are sister brands under the same parent company, and the 31A sits at the same belt, disc and motor specification as JET's JSG-6DCK and JSG-6CS. Buyers cross-shopping those JET models should note this as the Powermatic equivalent.
