Product Description -- If only we'd had one of these when we built those doll cradles--and sanded all the little curves and crannies by hand! This beauty takes all the work out of jobs like that. No burn marks--ever--because of the oscillating action. Sure, you can chuck a little drum sander into your drill press, but you'll have to deal with that annoying gap between the drum and the table. This sander eliminates that. The large cast-iron table measures 18 inches in diameter and sits atop a 1/4-horsepower single-phase motor. A built-in dust collection fan draws down dust and chips through the table insert and into the dust-collection bag. There's room on board to store all the included accessory sanding drums and sleeves. It's light--just 45 pounds--and can be used as a portable sander or mounted to a stand or workbench through predrilled holes in the base. In addition to the standard 3/4-inch sanding drum and sleeve, the kit includes 1-, 1-1/2-, 2-, and 3-inch rubber spindles, drum plates, abrasive sleeves, and table inserts.

From the Manufacturer
Includes spindle set - a $59 value! Sand contours and curves easily and without the burning problems encountered with standard drum or spindle sanders. The oscillating action of this spindle sander prevents burning because more of the abrasive surface is used, reducing heat build up from friction. A cast iron table gives this unit the weight it needs for stability and makes for a durable work surface. The heavy-duty induction motor provides long lasting, smooth operation and power. A variety of spindle sizes are available for various applications.

Very good spindle sander.--
The Delta spindle sander I received had some minor problems. The unit was noisy. Under the 2 year warranty I could have taken it to a service location, but that would have meant a delay. Instead I made the adjustment noted in the directions. This adjustment is supposed to be made after many hours of use. Anyway, it did solve the noise problem.
One of the steel arms (called a link) that raises and lowers the motor assembly was bent. I removed it and straightened it out. It appeared this was a factory defect since it did not happen during shipping. The unit was made in Taiwan. Quality control is poor at the assembly plant I guess. This is the main reason for 4 stars and not 5.
The operation of the sander is very good. There is minimum vibration and noise during use. The dust bag included does a good job collecting most of the dust. It is easy to control the wood on the nice flat machined table.
Make sure you get the free spindle set that is being included. It has an assortment of spindles that are needed. The one included is the narrow spindle and limits the abilities of this sander.
Despite the minor problems that may have been unique to this one sander, I have to recommend it. It performs above average. And the price is right.

Quiet, smooth, and powerful -- I looked at this machine for a long time before I bought it. I thought that the motor might be too small and that the unit might be under-powered. When I finally purchased one I was pleasantly surprised. The machine is very quiet and operates incredibly smoothly. There is no hint of vibration and even with a 3 inch spindle and moderate to high sanding pressure, the motor did not show any evidence of stalling. If you have a home of small shop and want a great little oscillating sander, this is the one for you.

Meets all my expectations -- Given my good luck-terrible luck experiences with Delta products I still found myself able to purchase this product with high expectations. This time I got lucky and got a good one. Minimal shipping grease, easy setup, nothing broken, all accessories included. I purchased a 4" dust hose adapter/reducer and modified it so that I could utilize my dust collection system. Yes, the dust port is an odd size but I placed some self-adhesive foam inside the adapter and it seals well now; so well that when I get within 3 inches of the adapter, the dust collector hose forces its' own way onto the adapter. The suction is very powerful with this modification. Although this table doesn't have a tilting axis, it should be easy to make a tabletop jig to achieve any desired angle tilting the stock itself. I recommend this sander. So far......

Don't Do It Folks!!!! -- After hearing a few horror stories on Delta tools I decided to take a chance and order the BOSS sander. Big mistake. It arrived fine and was packed fine but when I went to try it out I discovered that on the full upstroke the washer under the drum makes contact with and actually raises up the table insert. It is unusable. After waiting 15 minutes on hold on the Delta tech line I was informed that they were aware of the problem and weren't sure how to fix it yet but when they did I would have to drive an hour and a half to a service center and leave it with them and then of course have to drive back when it is ready. I usually purchase higher grade tools than Delta and now I remember why.
