The more I read the two BS box books the more I think I might need a Oscillating spindle sander. I did look in my WWS book and I really do not want to pay as much as the Delta and Jet cost. Any opinions welcome.
Read the reviews on Amazon for this one Delta SA350K Shopmaster Boss 1/4 Horsepower not real impressive. Lots of plastic parts
breaking and paper coming off.
Swapped PM's with Dave after his post. Now I need for you BS box experts to tell me if this is enough of an issue not to buy the Ridgid OSS.
Dave's post and the PM's below:
"I have the Ridgid and hae been very happy with it. The dual functions are a nice feature. It doesn't have the stoke length of some of the dedicated OSS (which could be an issue in thick BS boxes), but it has served my needs so far."

If you have a thin piece of wood I could see where a short stoke could be a problem. Even if you turn the sandpaper you would not use the center part of the sandpaper. With a thick piece of wood you might not sand all of it at one time but all you would have to do is turn the wood over.
What am I missing?
Thanks

You're not missing anything. You could easily sand from both sides. You might run the risk of them not being parallel (on the same plane) but they would be smooth.If you have a thin piece of wood I could see where a short stoke could be a problem.
