Triton TSPST450 Oscillating Spindle & Belt Sander vs Jet J-41002 Bench Grinder

The Triton TSPST450 is the more versatile machine: it switches between an oscillating spindle sander and a 4-inch belt sander, tilts its table 0-45 degrees and runs on 240V with variable speed. The Jet J-41002 is a 115V combination belt and disc sander with a 2 x 42 inch belt and an 8 inch disc, built for hogging material off flat stock. Buy the Triton for curved work, inside curves and edge chamfers; buy the Jet for flat faces, squaring and disc sanding. Owners rate the Triton well at 4.5 out of 5, and its 12.9 kg build is light enough to move around a bench.

• Choose the Triton TSPST450 if you sand curves, inside cutouts and shaped parts and want one machine that does spindle and belt work.
• Choose the Jet J-41002 if you mostly flatten, square and bevel flat stock and want a disc sander plus a long belt in one unit.
