Anybody seen or have one of these? http://www.amazon.com/Delta-Woodworking ... dle+sander A good price although the 3" spindle is an add-on accessory, just like the similar Jet model. However, the 3" Delta spindle is less than $40, while the 3" Jet spindle is $95, which seems excessive for what it is. |

I'm sure it is a nice tool but my needs can be met with a similar tool that costs a fraction of that price. |

Looks very similar to the Jet, General International, Craftex, Canwood, etc. Likely comes from the same offshore manufacturer. I bought the 3" Craftex spindle on sale for $29.95 and it fit directly on my Canwood sander which is a clone of the General International. Anyway, back to the original question. This and similar dedicated spindle sanders are more robust with a longer spindle and stroke than the Ridgid I used to own. They are definitely a nice to have. The metal table is good for magnetic jigs etc. and tilts as well which comes in handy. |
