I am considering buying the rigid oscillating belt/spindle sander, I think it’s EB 4424, to compliment my upcoming first bandsaw purchase. Probably a 14” model. The sander that’s $200 something at Home Depot.

I am getting the bandsaw mostly for cutting curves etc, rather than to resaw. The purpose of this inquiry is not about what bandsaw to get. It’s about the sander. Until now I use any combination of : drill press/ jigsaw/ flush trim bit in router/ beltsander clamped upside down, to deal with curves.

The reviews of the rigid sander on SMC and elsewhere seem to be ok for what it is. I’m dont have a fortune to spend. Does this seem to be an ok plan? Any suggestions?
