RIDGID EB4424 Oscillating Belt/Spindle Sander vs Triton TSPST450 Oscillating Spindle & Belt Sander

Both are oscillating belt/spindle sanders with tool-free belt-to-spindle switching, a 4 in. x 24 in. belt and a tilting table. The RIDGID has the stronger motor and a wider 0-48° table with five positive stops, and it is the better-supported choice in the US. The Triton adds variable speed, runs quieter on paper and has a larger cast table, but it is a 240 V machine with a small owner base and few reviews. Buy the RIDGID for heavier stock removal and parts availability; buy the Triton for variable speed and a bigger table if your shop runs 240 V.

• Choose the RIDGID if you want the more powerful motor, positive table stops and a brand with wide US parts and service support.
• Choose the Triton if you need variable speed and a larger table and your shop is wired for 240 V.
