Help please Axminster Trade Series ST-480 Bench Mounted Drum/Brush Sander 230v

[shed9]

Axminster may have stopped selling it, but is it actually discontinued?

I assumed the ST version was discontinued given you can't buy it anymore. I appreciate there will be variants of the model design but I wouldn't assume parts are interchangeable. So.....yeah but no but yeah.........

Incidentally, I really hate sounding like a fan boy but I've used this machine for about five years.....At these kind of second hand prices a decent example would represent very good value for money.

Good to hear this kind of feedback especially from a reputable source.

It's like the old banger that's for sale, where the value doubles if the tank's full of petrol.

A roll of sandpaper for this machine now costs virtually £100, which gives about ten or twelve loadings. Most of these machines that crop up for sale come with a few full rolls. At this sort of price they should sell the sandpaper and toss in the drum sander for free!

yep, the Jet 10-20 does seem to hold value much better, maybe because it’s much smaller
