Oscillating Belt Spindle sander quit, recommendations needed

[Scott Brandstetter]

Had a big box sander that quit on me. Probably 10+ years old. Can't remember why I bought that style so thought I would ask what is popular. I saw a Rikon that had a mini belt combined with an 8 inch (or so) disc built in. Like most of you, my hobby is a bit of everything with an emphasis on turning. Thanks for the help

Check out the Ridgid. $200.00 bucks, and well reviewed. I like mine.

Take the switch apart and clean it. If it woks and you still want to buy a new sander, let me know, I'm in the market for one.

Another vote for the Ridgid Oscillating spindle sander at $199.95 at Home Depot. I have it now for four years and I use it on every project. Versatile, enough power for what I do (hobbyist) and pretty good dust collection.
