Ok, it's my turn to ask; between the OSS or Oscillating edge sander, if you have both, which gets used the most. If you have just one type, what made you select the one you chose. I know each has its uses as well as strengths and weakness. I am leaning more towards the OSS since that was what I needed when doing my last project; lots of curves, an arc, and four bandy legs. Had to place my portable belt sander on its side to sand the parts, but it severely limited the sanding of the curves.
I realize that the edge sander has provisions for sanding most curves, and since most of the parts I made didn't have very tight radii, I could have probably been fine with this machine.
I know that the Ridgid machine has both the spindle and belt, but I would like a more substantial machine.
In case you're wondering, Budget? around $700
Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.
