Is a spindle sander worth it?
It does a good job sanding off the bandsaw cut marks. Obviously, it’s not the best tool for sanding a straight edge, but it can do a passable job on small toys, crafts, etc.
What is a oscillating belt sander used for?
An oscillating spindle sander solves the problem by moving the sanding drum up and down, exposing more of the surface of the drum to the workpiece. The result is a smoother edge on your workpiece, free of burn marks. Oscillating spindle sanders have been in use in production shops for years.
