Overview
WEN's 6524 sander is a corded, benchtop-scale unit drawing 3.5 amps and spinning up to 2000 RPM. At about 27 pounds and roughly 18 by 16 by 18 inches, it's sized to sit on a workbench rather than be carried around a job site.
The amperage and RPM point to a machine built for stock removal and shaping rather than light hand finishing, and the near-27 pound weight helps keep it planted during use without needing to be bolted down for occasional jobs.

Who it's for
For shop use such as flattening edges, deburring metal or shaping wood at a bench, rather than handheld finish sanding.
Strengths and trade-offs
