WEN 6510T 3.5 Amp Oscillating Spindle Sander,Black

I’ve been extremely impressed with my WEN spindle sander. It’s been a fantastic addition to my workshop and gets regular use on my projects. The machine runs smoothly, has plenty of power, and delivers consistent, clean sanding results—especially on curves and detailed work where precision really matters. The variety of spindle sizes makes it versatile for different project needs, and the setup was straightforward right out of the box. It feels solid and well-built for the price, and it’s held up great with repeated use. For hobbyists, DIYers, or small shop projects, this sander punches well above its weight. Highly recommend this WEN spindle sander to anyone looking for reliable performance and great value.

A power tool with a cast iron table top at this price is practically unbeatable. That said, I wish the tabletop surface were a bit smoother. The cast iron has a directional grain of sorts. A flat, level, polished surface would most likely require expensive machining, which would significantly increase price, and this table is perfectly serviceable. Anyhow, this is a nit-picky comment. The machine works great. It's stable as a slice of granite. The dust removal works fine attached to my shop vac. The onboard storage is helpful. The manual is helpful overall; however, I think my tool's supply of metal washers differs slightly from those indicated in the instruction manual section on tool operation. It's by no means a problem. Actually, the supplied washers are an improvement over the washers described in that section of the manual. There's an extra large steel washer included that holds the rubber sanding drum very securely on the post/ shaft that's attached to the motor. I ended up using that washer on all the largest rubber cylinders because it worked so well. This little discrepancy from the manual is easy to figure out. Also, I found some zirconium sanding cylinders at the big orange box store that turned out to be a helpful accessory for sanding high carbon steel. The manual warns against sanding anything but wood, probably because of the risk associated with the possibility of a spark igniting any sawdust inside the machine or inside your dust collection system. For the price I paid for this unit, that's a risk I was willing to take: for better or worse. So far, no harm done. I've sanded steel and bog oak on this machine, and it performed well on both accounts. The sanding drum moves up and down while spinning in order to maximize the sanding surface and to give a smooth finish on the workpiece. If you're sanding thinner material, then the upper part of your sandpaper will remain unaffected by the sanding action of the machine. I will probably end up trimming the sandpaper tubes to remove the used portion, and get more life out of them. I kinda wish the little removable plastic parts that fit around the sanding drums were a thicker plastic or - better yet - made of metal. However, the oblong shape of the cast iron table provides adequate support for many different-sized workpieces. The short end of the table is good for sanding small workpieces. Anyhow, if you're still reading this review, then what are you waiting for? If you've thought about buying a drum sander, then you've probably thought about using drum-sanding bits in your drill press. I decided against it because the bearings in the drill press are not designed for horizontal stresses. Believe me, you'll be putting horizontal pressure on your workpieces whenever you need to hog off a lot of material. Save your drill press, and buy a drum sander. If you want one that's a great value, get this little number while the gettin's good. The price has already gone up by $20 since I bought mine. I'm so pleased with it, now I'm looking at the whole WEN lineup for other tools I need. BTW - I wish I had considered a WEN drill press rather than the press I ended up buying from the other big box store.

I bought this sander to sand arches i cut for some pieces i made for a small table i built. This thing is awsome for when i cut curved pieces or arches in my band saw i will use this to sand out the blade marks from the band saw. It works way better than sanding those pieces by hand or trying to use a different type of sander. This sander has made sanding curved pieces way easier and faster. the build quality is awesome, the top is very thick cast iron that has a heafty weight to it, and the body is made of a sturdy polymer. this comes with several sizes of spindles and the sand paper wraps to go with them. The sand paper it comes with lasts a long time, and i highly reccomend getting a spindle sander sand paper cleaner to help extend the life of the sand paper. the motor has pleanty of power to sand any workpiece ive ran through it, from oak to thick pine workpieces. it's easy to change the spindles out and comes with all the tools needed to change them. overall this thing is awesome and i would highly reccomend it. I don't do enough projects that need a spindle sander to constitute spending money on a more expensive unit. for $104 this is awesome for the home wood shop

100% casero uso medio pero excelente calidad.

I bought this as a gift for my cousin for our anniversary and I have no complaints with the purchase at all as I knew he wanted this machine for quite some time and I actually had a very hard time finding it in person. I went to multiple different stores and I could not find it. I did find it online at a few places but the price was more expensive than finding here so I'm very happy with the project. It came in as described and works great

I really enjoy using this sander. It is powerful, and removes material quickly. It’s easy to change barrel size and sand paper which is convenient when working on projects. It’s compact enough that it doesn’t take up too much space on the work bench. One con is that it is quiet loud to operate. The first time I turned it on I felt like I was about to witness a spaceship take off.

LA HERRAMIENTA ES MUY BUENA, LO DUDÉ MUCHO POR LA MARCA PERO RESULTÓ MEJOR DE LO QUE ESPERABA, EL PRECIO ES MÁS QUE JUSTO....

I’ve put several hours on this and it’s still working perfectly. Seems like a good value.
