      Craftsman Oscillating Spindle Sander an awesome addition! August 10, 2010

      This sander is great, better than I imagined.  I feel this is a well built machine, plenty of power, and quieter than expected.  Well balanced, minimal vibration.  I looked at others, and chose the Craftsman based on past experience with brand and could not be happier.

      Spindle Sander April 03, 2009

      I'm not sure what the previous reviewer had in mind. The unit I received weighed in at 52 pounds. Within 10 seconds after turning it on, it made a grinding and chattering sound. I called the phone number on the sheet that came with the unit and was told I needed to lubricate some gears and bushings. Which I was willing to do, I need this tool. Lubrication didn't work, I decided to remove the plastic cover. With the unit upside down on my bench, I turned it on and found the problem, ( item # 14 on the parts list)after drowning the bearing with oil, the noise went away...for awhile. The folks at the service center were helpful, but this is suppose to be a new unit...very disappointing The awful noise aside, it seems to work well, with excellant dust collection

      Easy to use and good size December 29, 2011
      By SearsBuff of Mission, TX
      Pros:
      Drum Lengths,Large Table Platform Size,Onboard Storage Slots
      Cons:
      No 1/4,Only Includes 1 Set of Fine Sleeves,Sears Warranty Could Be Better

      Great oscillating spindle sander unit to have and very usefull in the workshop. Spindles are your basic hard rubber for that sturdy sanding and easy interchangeable sleeve process. This sander could have used some sound absorbtion material to reduce that bit of noise but you can easily add this to the hollow shell if you need to. The large table platform is just great and allows you a full work area to manage your material. Although the monster gray shell feels 'plastic-y' it is quite sturdy and does a great job all around. This spindle sander does stand tall as well so some to most stands will make it sit very high to use comfortably so keep that in mind. You will also need some very long screws or bolts to fasten this unit on a workbench and recommend hand tightening wingnuts as using a regular nut with a socket or wrench may overtighten and risk cracking shell (6" to 7" bolts is what I used). Exhaust port is very handy as well and does a good job.

      Does What It's Designed to Do but with some Minor "Cons"! July 13, 2011
      By RusticNew of Mission, TX
      Pros:
      Drum Lengths,Oscillating Length,Onboard Storage Slots,Large Table Platform Size
      Cons:
      Sears Warranty Could Be Better,Sleeves Not Available At My Local Store,No 1/4,Only Includes 1 Set of Fine Sleeves

      Online and in the Catalog it really doesn't appear to be such an oversized item, but it's quite large and well worth it's table size. Once you turn it on it's also very quiet for a woodworking device and it does the job to an extent. If your looking to cut on the outside of your line and final shape it with the 21500 your going to need to go get you some new sanding sleeves with a rougher grit.(Find Included) The ocillating amount is just enough while the speed/rotation is also just enough too. If your looking for a 1/4" spindle size your not finding on this unit as other high end similar sanders offer, but you can make due. Finding a stand for this particular sander is challenging but your local parts store might have something to make one up or just use a universal stand and mount some 3/4" ply on it and done! All in all I would recommend the 21500 over the new Ridgid, but the Ridgid does have the Lifetime Warranty Option. Wait it out for a $ALE price though. 4 - Stars just because it could be better and so could the Warranty.

      Pleased...So Far November 10, 2009
      By volcanobud of Grand Junction, CO

      The sander is quite and runs smoothly.  It is still new and have only used it a few times but thus far am pleased with the performance.  One gripe would be the dust port, it is sized for connection to a Sears wet/dry vacuum, so my Shop Vac hose didn't connect (would be nice to have some standardization here), after fooling with several adapters was able to make a connection.
