Thanks for the info. I also have a 6in belt/disc sander that gets minimal usage.
My wife has discovered the Steve Goods Vase patterns and she said that since I was retiring the middle of June I should have plenty of time to make her a bunch of these. I think the spindle would be great for that purpose.
I have decided to get a spindle sander but was wondering if I should go ahead with the combo unit. I have read some of the reviews on all of the brands I am considering and a lot of them complains about not being able to get the table square to the belt on all the brands. Do any of you have this problem?
I have looked at Rigid, Wen, Harbor Freight and Grizzly. Any other suggestions?
