Delta 310-482 Oscillating Edge Sander?

[Steve Mathews]

I just purchased a Delta 310-482 Oscillating Edge Sander locally. It's one of those used but never used machines that don't come around often. Therefore I couldn't pass it up. The protective coating was still on the bare cast iron surfaces. I have no immediate use for it but seems handy to have. Anyone with experience with it?

I have a similar Grizzly oscillating edge sander, and use it to sand edges of tops and bottoms, doors, drawer fronts, just about every finished panel. Just a bump is all you need to clean up edges. Works great on endgrain too. I like to hit the ends of panels before I run the router down them, as it makes for a cleaner router cut.

I have a jet and have been glad to have it. Collect the dust, it will fill the air with baby powder if you don't. Hang on tight and use the stop to keep your piece where you want. If not it will be a projectile. Heard that from a friend....

A year from now you won't know how you did without it.

Ditto. One of the tools I wonder how I did without.
