RIDGID EB4424 Oscillating Edge Belt/Spindle Sander vs RIDGID EB4424 Oscillating Belt/Spindle Sander

These are the same machine: both listings describe the RIDGID EB4424 oscillating edge belt and spindle sander, with a 5 amp motor, 1,725 RPM spindle speed, 60 oscillations per minute, a 3/4 in. stroke and a 4 in. x 24 in. belt. Buy whichever listing includes the full accessory set, since the drums, sleeves, throat plates and belt assembly are what make the tool useful out of the box. Owners rate it around 4.2 out of 5 and praise the tool-free belt-to-spindle changeover and burn-free finishes; the common complaints are its 40 lb weight and the lack of variable speed.

• Choose the 5 Amp Corded Oscillating Edge Belt/Spindle Sander if its listing spells out the complete in-box kit, including the belt assembly, all five sleeve sizes with drums, washers and throat plate inserts.
• Choose the RIDGID Oscillating Edge Belt/Spindle Sander if you want the same EB4424 tool and its listing confirms the sanding belt and sleeve assortment are included.
