Overview
An oscillating spindle drives this benchtop sander, with a corded motor behind it. The spindle moves along its axis as it turns to spread wear across the sanding surface.
A benchtop footprint makes this a choice for a shop with limited floor space, and the warranty is long for non-commercial use. Spindle sizes, table size and dust collection are missing.
Who it's for
A woodworker smoothing curved edges who has a sturdy bench will find the basic machine described here. Buyers wanting a spindle size list, table dimensions or dust collection details should check JET before ordering.
Pros and cons
- Long non-commercial warranty
- Medium grit listed
- Spindle sizes not listed
- No dust port information
- Heavy for a benchtop
Performance notes
Oscillation moves the spindle along its axis while it rotates, which spreads wear across the abrasive and reduces burn marks. The spindle speed and grit set the removal rate, and the machine mass helps hold it steady during a cut.
