Does anyone have a recommendation for an oscillating spindle sander?

Thanks.

ridgid for a light use and jet for heavy use.
I used a ridgid for about 3 yrs till I fried it.

My Ridgid is still going strong after ten years of use.

It does the job. If I had more $, would have gotten a better one - Prob the Jet.

Which Jet one do you recommend? I only want to buy this once, but money is still a consideration.

Thanks.

Thanks John. I would be going for the bench model. The floor model is a bit out of my range.

Hello All.
These were way out of my budget and I don't have the floor or bench space so I went with these that go into my drill press...

I am sure the real machine works better but these worked for me.

I got a spindle sander and don't like it (it seems to leave vertical grooves from the up stroke). I had this already and much prefer it.
