I had one and sold it years ago. I'm in the market for one. What brand/model have you been happy with? Thanks!

I have had and enjoyed the Ridged Oscillating sander. Here is the linkhttps://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-Oscillating-Edge-Belt-Spindle-Sander-EB4424/100061671

Powermatic had a mid-weight version a few years back that had a design flaw that turned them into paperweights with use.

As much as I'm not a fan of Harbor Freight tools, their spindle sander fit the bill and has worked perfectly. Other manufacturers (Wen, Rockwell, Powertec, Shop Fox), all appear to make the identical sander. With their usual 20% discount it was budget priced and is there when I need it.
So there's an admission - I own a HF tool.![]()
There's NO SHAME in owning HF tools, there's just that ever present strange Oil Smell from both them and the stores that you have to get used to......
