The RIKON benchtop oscillating spindle sander is a 1/2 HP, 110V corded machine with a 14-3/4 inch square table and a 1,700 RPM spindle that oscillates 29 times a minute. It spins and strokes at the same time, so abrasive sleeves stay cool and cut curves, inside edges and end grain without burning. The cast-iron table and 80 lb shipping weight put it in the heavier class of benchtop sanders, which helps it stay put under load. It has a single speed and a dust port for a shop vacuum or collector, so it trades variable speed and tilt for simple, steady performance. It suits furniture, cabinet and guitar makers who shape curves and need a stable, no-fuss machine more than a tilting table or fine speed control.
