Ridgid Oscillating Spindle/Belt Sander (2001)

---

Likes:

• Very versatile to have functionality for BOTH belt and spindle oscillating sanding.
• Easy to change between belt and spindle.
• Belt is the same size as my PC belt sander (4”x24”).
• The belt tracks well and doesn’t drift off center.
• The tilting table is handy for angled or mitered workpieces.
• Has enough power to sand the tips of your fingers off (DAMHIKT).
• Reasonably priced.

Dislikes:

• Dust collection isn’t fabulous, but it kinda works alright.
• Sometimes could use a larger belt and the ability to get the belt raised out of the table.
• Could use a bit more power. It's possible to stall the belt if you apply enough pressure with the workpiece.
