I ended up with a Boice-Crane spindle sander that oscillates
and an Acme 2C edge sander that doesn't. I've found no
reason to not like the Acme.
The Boice-Crane doesn't get used much but I wouldn't get rid
of it for the world. The Acme comes in second for "the most
used machine" in my shop.

I see myself using the edge sander a lot more also.

So have you had problems with uneven wear on the edge sander? or
burning?
