Ridgid Osc Sander?

[Jay Yoder]

Hey all, I purchased this new about a year ago and I finally got it out of the box. I fired it up after setup and i thought it had a bit of vibration to it. I had a glass of water on the table it was on and it was vibrating. Is this normal? It is alot rougher than my Hitachi belt disk for comparison...

[Brian Penning]

Yes, that's normal due to....er..it's oscillation?

[Jay Yoder]

That was kinda what I thought, but wasn't sure. I was very impressed setting it up. The table stops were within .1 degree of 90 and everything seemed well made, especially considering the cost.

At only 40lbs and $200 there is definitely not the feel of big iron to this guy. I have been using mine oh-so-much-more than I thought I would ever since I got it. I am really happy with the bang for the buck on this guy. And yes, it does dance a bit.
