He makes wooden toys, and he loves the sander. I gave this product to my husband for his birthday. He says it really saves his arms and elbows a lot of stress and sands the cars nice and smooth without any hand sanding.
Works Great, Didn't miss a beat. Taken care of with some glue though. I bought this Wilton (99179)Oscillating Spindle Sander on 09/28/08 and its been a great sander so far. The only issue I have with it, is when I pulled it out of the box the table top was peeling up a little bit. I used it for a constant 1 1/2 hours the other day without shutting it off.
I have a great appreciation of Jet and their customer service. Save up and buy a quality machine. Very light use, just handy to have so I bought one. Pretty much eliminates the allure of an oscillating sander.Learned my lesson. The Amazon return window closed per rules, and that's ok. But I bought it in August 2008 and I personally think even a cheap sander should work for at least a few months instead of the 4 months I've had it. Didn't want to spend an arm and a leg to have a handy little gizmo. It will spin with the best of them, but the oscillating portion of the machine disappeared.
I've sent an inquiry in to Wilton warranty folks. Anyway, no more Wilton products, I'll work out something to buy their high end products, Jet. Bought this sander for home workshop. In less than one hour of operating time, poof. We'll see what develops.
It is relatively quiet, sands efficiently, and has a good dust collection system. I purchased this in March 2007 and I have been very happy with its performance. Recommend highly.
It does the job and has all the basic elements of a good spindle sander. I recommended it to several friends who bought it, and they all liked it. For light use, it is a great deal. You can install an external rheostat to regulate speed.
