Add onto this the tiltable worktop and belt sanding unit it seems a very attractive alternative for relatively little additional cost. Last but not least in this review is this machine from Rutlands.

You will like the quiet operation of the motor, making it possible for you to enjoy every time you spend on your sanding tasks.

Our experiences with the Triton TSPS450 oscillating spindle sander were somewhat mixed. It was our opinion that it represented a great tool for the money in spite of it being a simple badged Far Eastern import with cheesy design and less than durable build quality. For the home gamer it would be a great addition to a workshop, as long as it didn't crap out within a few hours like ours did. The Scheppach OSM100 comes with plush attributes that will enhance your sanding jobs. It boasts of a 450-watt motor so that there won’t be issues with outstanding performance. That is why you can use it to sand wide and deep workpieces, narrow inner curves, front edges and so on. With its speed standing at 581 OPM, you can be sure of getting your sanding jobs done without much hassle.

You are free to: Triton TSPS450 oscillating spindle sander is an ideal choice for you if you desire outstanding performance in all your woodworking tasks. It comes with a cast iron table measuring 370 by 295 millimetres so that you can have enough space for placing your wood. You will like its oscillating action, which guarantees perfect movement of the drum up and down so that there can be reduced static friction.Compared to the TSPS450, this unit is clearly worse on many levels. Whilst its function as an oscillating spindle sander is more or less comparable (extraction excepted) it fails in almost every other aspect. The aluminium top (unlike the TSPS450's cast iron top) makes the unit light and prone to movement (unless bolted down) and several key points call the units long-term longevity into question. The main spindle drives the drums and sanding unit using one small keyed plastic disc. All of the force required to operate the unit is the equivalent of having a plastic clutch plate in your car! If you're the type to look for signs that a product is "engineered to fail", you'd be looking no further for a smoking gun. On the other hand, you could call this "failure to engineer". This interpretation applies equally to the awful method of translating the reciprocating motion of the spindle into linear motion of the sanding unit. Nothing about this speaks of quality, durability or simply being fit for purpose. This 2-in-1 sander from Sealey is your best bet if you are looking for a product that is reliable. It has the functionality for both bobbin and belt sander, meaning that you will certainly get value for your money. It has an extraction port, which is very vital for making your working area dirt-free.
