Grizzly has a new Benchtop Spindle Sander - T26417. It is on sale for X-mas at $260.
I have a small shop and I don't think I can justify a floor spindle sander. Probably will not use it that much and benchtop I could store under my table saw extension.
I was thinking of asking Santa for a Ridgid OSS since for $200 you cannot seem to go wrong. However, I came across the new Grizzly and wonder if it may be a little more "heavy" duty - 78lbs shipped (some of that is package but still more than the Ridgid), spindles are 3/4" x 3-1/2", 1" x 4?-1/2", and 2" x 5-1/2", 15" tilting table. https://www.grizzly.com/products/Ben...-Sander/T26417
I see the Ridgid gets really good feedback. Just wondering if the Grizzly is more of a "lifetime" tool - looks to be all metal vs the plastic on the Ridgid. Of course with shipping it will run me about $300 which is 50% more than the Ridgid and I don't have the belt sander.
Any thoughts on this unit vs the Ridgid?
