Apart from the option we reviewed above, I would check out the 6524 by WEN and the 708404 by Jet. Both tool manufacturers are well known for their high quality Spindle Sanders. Both these tools are rated highly as well. The WEN received a rating of 4.1/5 as compared to 3.6/5 star rating for the 708404 by Jet.

The WEN 6524 gives several very premium features including 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 tough to beat with Power Tools and Accessories and even Country of manufacture: Taiwan.

Each of these two options are a terrific option for someone whose in the market for Benchtop Spindle Sanders

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.
