I have been finishing up my shop and have room and money for either a performax or Jet Drum sander or an oscillating edge sander... I do not have a oscillating spindle sander... many hand sanders (belt sander, porter cable 5 inch oscillating and a bosch bigger oscillating sander as well as some profile sanders but and a delta sanding center with a 48 inch belt and a 12 inch disk... What am I going to use more? I will be doing a lot of furniture and built ins.. some cabinetry.. I have about $1200 or there abouts to spend.

Thanks... Drew

Performax 22-44, wish I had gotten it a long time ago.

Frankly that is what I have been thinking myself... I need some sort of spindle sander though and was thinking the end roller of an edge sander would work... However I guess I could use my drill press. Just need to get some spindle sander thingies...:D
