I went to Home Depot today and bought a RIDGID oscillating edge belt/spindle sander. Anxious to make some sawdust with it.

I've had mine for several years very reliable You will love it....be sure to place it where you can hook up your dust collection it works pretty good. I just have a shop vac.

Thanks guys, I've been "playing" around with it this morning and so far I'm pretty impressed. It's heavy (40#) so I don't think it will move around on the bench. If it does, it can be anchored down. The work table is big. (11x19). It's easy to set any degree with some already preset. I like the miter gauge slot. My table saw gauge fits well. Changing from belt to spindle and visa verse is quick and easy.

Thanks for the tip on the dust collector. I'll put it close to my Shop-Vac too.

I think I'm gonna like it!

Northstar:

I have had mine for quite a while as well and am generally quite pleased with it.

I found the table a bit small so I made a larger one out of plywood and anchor it through the guide slot.

Wow George, I thought the table was already big compared to the little 5 x 7 table on my disk sander. What do you sand that you need a table bigger than 11 x 19? I like your idea on how to make it bigger if needed tho.
