Ridgid - EB4424 Oscillating Spindle Sander
The Ridgid oscillating spindle sander doubles as a oscillating belt sander and features a tilting aluminum table
Dec 01, 2006
Ridgid’s oscillating spindle sander features a unique design that converts easily to a 4-in. by 24-in. oscillating belt sander. It has a tilting aluminum table with a 3/4 in. slot for a common miter gauge, and the base is designed to hold spare drums, spindles, and tools. Changing the drums and converting the tool are easy when compared to other models in this class, because the Ridgid doesn’t require any special tools. While dust collection worked reasonably well when set up as a spindle sander, it wasn’t so good when used as a belt sander.
