Oscillating edge sander/bobbin sander

[BradNaylor]

I am starting to look around for an edge sander and came across this one.

I like the look of it - particularly having the bobbin sander included.

I've emailed them for a price but does anyone know anything about the company or the brand?

Cheers

Hi Dan,

Have a look here, gives an indication of what the price is likely to be?

The ITECH one that jed found looks like it has a folded steel table, so for £849 it looks expensive.

Have a look at this one http://www.axminster.co.uk/product-Jet- ... 365614.htm at the moment it it £595

I have the previous model which does not oscillate, but it works really well.

Dan, what do you want to do with it and how much do you want to spend ?

Do you think you could use the Jet one instead of a Bobbin sander? i.e you don't need one? I guess you could for 80% of jobs

Not much difference in price for the Jet one, and the seperate bobbin sander that everyone seems to love on here, 2 seperates, one price?

Or what about a nice peice of 120 grit and a cork sanding block :lol:

Can't beleive I'm on here, just finished a 12 hour shift at 7, it was cold last night, this wood stuff's geting addictive :lol:

Hi Dan If you like the look of the Jet I Know of a machine that is secondhand but was literally used once by an old bloke before he died unfortunately. Price will be about £350 to £400 I think and is the current model.
