The RIDGID Oscillating Edge/Belt Spindle Sander sells for $207 at the big box stores on online here: Ridgid-EB4424-Sander-Oscillating-Edge Great value! I can see this tool being used by the occasional woodworker to professionals looking for a reliable, inexpensive bench top sander. I found the sander easy, reliable, and well made. I challenge you to find a better 2-in-1 sander for the same price. At $207 this sander is an incredible value. It is important to feed your stock from left to right to avoid having yo ur stock thrown across the room. It’s important to read and understand the directions for this tool to understand feed direction. Keep your other hand by the on/off switch as you adjust the belt tracking knob. The belt sander tracking knob adjusted the belt fine but was sensitive, to many turns can send your belt flying off. One thing you need to watch out for is that this unit sands fast! Too fast in fact, if your not careful you may remove too much material before you realize it. The five different spindles allowed me to get into tight spots. There is are vents or baffles in the table allows the dust to be sucked down into the dust port – nice design. The dust collection port easily connects to your shop vac and worked well. Way quieter than I ever would have expected. Did I mention noise? No I didn’t, that’s because this unit run quiet. The RIDGID Oscillating Edge/Belt Spindle Sander worked great at smoothing material and on curved stock. Using The RIDGID Oscillating Edge/Belt Spindle Sander : Lockout power switch helps prevent unintentional activation.Built-in sawdust collection port helps keep your workspace and air clean.Ball-bearing construction for smooth operation and long life.On-board accessory storage neatly holds the belt mechanism, all drums, throat plates and washers to help keep your work area tidy. ![]()
