That's all I can ask at this price point. Did not power on when it arrived. Sand here, sand there, sand everywhere. Dust collection is very effective. I am just making knife handles now.

The truth is that the WEN 6510T was the Oscillating Sanders that we rated most highly. Even so, there were a few other really premium Oscillating Sanders worth showcasing here that just barely missed first place.

Next up is manufactured by Shop Fox known to be a very trusted tool manufacturer. Shop Fox's Spindle Sanders are also top quality. It was terrific to test the W1831. I was very happy with this tool!

The Shop Fox W1831 Spindle Sander, at $163.28 is a particularly exceptional Sander for the price. The Shop Fox W1831 is definitely a solid alternative. Of you are uncertain about our top pick, I would choose this Sander.

The 6524 by WEN and the Jet 708404 are worth looking into also. Both tool manufacturers are popular for their top quality Sanders. both of these two tools earned exceptional user ratings also. The 6524 advertises a rating of 4.1/5 as compared to 3.6/5 star rating received by the 708404 by Jet.

The 6524 by WEN provides a few really premium features such as Features 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch, 1 inch, 1-1/2 inch and 2 inch sanding drum sizes and one 4 x 24 inch belt. The 708404 by Jet by comparison, is very competitive featuring Power Tools and Accessories and even Country of manufacture: Taiwan.

I would be eager to endorse either of these Oscillating Sanders

That's all I can ask at this price point. It is a compact unit with BIG features. It is my go-to sander for jobs both big and small. If you have the time, works on large jobs. Wish I would have bought this long ago.

No damage, packaging can improve. It's a nice sander for the small shop. With a coat of paste wax, it's smooth. Dust collection is very effective. Like one other reviewer mine was packed upside down.

I bought this and the Grizzly 9 inch band saw. It's a nice sander for the small shop. I removed the link to help reduce confusion. Great customer service from Grizzly. Had to go out and purchase a 30 MM and a 1 1/4 wrench.

That's all I can ask at this price point. I have not had any issues with excessive heat. Plenty of power, it's never bogged down. The tilt table is a great feature as well. Wish I would have bought this long ago.
