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 Benchtop Spindle Sanders that we graded most highly. Nevertheless, there were a few other really premium Benchtop Spindle Sanders we wanted to show you here that just barely missed first place.

Next on our list is made by Shop Fox which is a very credible tool supplier. Shop Fox's Spindle Sanders are among their leading offerings. It was terrific to try out the W1831. I was very happy using this tool!

This Spindle Sander is merely $163.28. That is a fantastic deal for a high quality Spindle Sander like the W1831 by Shop Fox. The Shop Fox W1831 is truly a solid option. Of you are not sure about our number one selection, I'd advise to choose this Spindle Sander.

Apart from the tools we already included, I would have a look at the 6524 by WEN and the Jet 708404. Both WEN and Jet are well known for their high quality Spindle Sanders. Each of these particular options earned terrific end user ratings as well. Customers gave the WEN an average score of 4.1/5 stars. You can compare that to the Jet 708404 that boasts an average score of 3.6/5 stars.

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.
