I bought a new Jet ocilationg spindle sander earlier this month. I thought
it would be a luxury tool but have used it on 3 projects in the last 3
weeks. I had no clue that I would use it this much. I also thought that I
would need more 3" diameter replacement abrasive sleves than the smallest
ones. Yesterday I was happy that I had used the tool more before
discovering that the smaller sleves would probably wear out 10 times faster
than the 3" one. But after probably 2 hours of use on the machine none of
the abrasives show any wear yet, WHO KNOWS!!! Duh.


I laughed when I read your response... Gosh about 5 or 6 years ago my
daughter gave me a Crapsman Ocilating Sander... for Christmas...

Course I smiled and gave my best song and dance ... Was not impressed
with the brand...not at all... BUT believe it or not it gets a hell of
a lot of use..and works just fine....My comments were really
concerning your usage... not about the brand...
