What is the difference between the belt and spindle modes?

Belt mode uses a flat platen for edges and straight runs. Spindle mode uses vertical drums for curves and inside cutouts. You switch between them on the same benchtop base.

Does it need a special sanding belt or sleeve size?

It uses standard belts and spindle sleeves sized to the machine's drums. Check the manual for the exact belt length and drum diameters before ordering abrasives.

Can it sand inside curves?

Yes. The spindle drums reach inside cutouts and concave curves that a flat belt cannot. Use the smallest drum that fits the curve for the best finish.

Is 2400 RPM enough for hardwood?

It is enough for light to moderate shaping and cleanup. For heavy stock removal on thick hardwood, take light passes and let the abrasive do the work rather than forcing the piece.

Does it come with dust collection?

It has a dust port for a shop vac or collector, but no built-in collection. Plan on connecting a vacuum, since dust collection on this type of sander is modest.

Who is this sander for?

Home woodworkers and small shops that need both edge and curve sanding without buying two machines. It is less suited to production work on large panels.

Our take on the PEXCHO Oscillating Belt and Spindle Sander 2400RPM Benchtop

The PEXCHO is a benchtop oscillating belt and spindle sander that runs at 2400 RPM. It combines a belt table with spindle drums, so one machine handles edge sanding, curve work and inside cutouts. That dual setup is its main advantage over single-purpose benchtop sanders, which force you to buy two tools or skip curves. It suits home woodworkers and small shops with limited bench space. Reviewers of this class of sander praise the versatility but often note that oscillation and belt tracking need careful setup.
