WENWEN AT6535 3.5-Amp Oscillating Spindle Sander with Extra Large Beveling Table Top

Great

Just two negatives. First, the body is a very cheap plastic -- maybe that's all that is needed but it feels cheap. Second, the dust port is not 1.5" (as stated in the description). It's a 2" dust port so the adapter I bought in advance will need to be returned.On the positive side, the price is right and it performs quite well. I wish the oscillation was greater (more vertical travel) but it suffices. As with most Wen products, a good product for the price.

Awesome machine! Love it. Is bigger and more substantial than I envisioned it to be. The only thing I could say that needs work would be the drum and tool storage but that is a minor issue in the grand scheme of it. Runs smoothly, table is quite adequate and machine heavy enough to not bother to clamp down if doing smaller jobs. I am completely satisfied with the tool. Would recommend it enthusiastically.

Makes short work of shape sanding , easy to change tubes. Plenty of power . Only downside side is storage of disk and tools . I have it I. A file cabinet so I store them in a drawer, which works well for me. The cylinders store on side and easy to reach.

Pulled it out of the box, got it set up and it turned twice and made an awful noise and then stopped working. Thought there was a loose wire or something so I pulled the base cover off and found that the motor broke all four motor mounts. (Mounts are plastic) ordered a new one to replace this one and we will se how this one goes!

Great product... Tho' haven't fired it up yet...(it has a reliable rep..) But i want to thank the young man who helped out with the shipping snafu. First rate customer assist. Thank you.

This is my third oscillating sander, second WEN sander. Including the two saws I own, not one vacuum attachment fits. They are ALL different. Now add the fact that WEN also changed the tube length. Tubes are all 4.5 inches...this is 5” and change. Sand paper tubes only come in 4.5 and 6” lengths. Not to mention this wen won’t take the 3inch diameter at all! Then of course the plastic inserts for the table don’t even come close to being flush....which causes a pause in your sanding stroke, ruining a smooth finish. Last but not least...the steel casting had holes and rough spots on finish. Looks as if they sent a used one. Closer inspection just shows it’s cheap. You get what you pay for. But as what I thought was an upgrade from the base model...actually cost me more money. Buy the cheap one, get the insurance, use it til it breaks, return for new one. As a professional knife maker, I’d skip this one if I had the chance again. Sadly I didn’t open the box until two days after the return date.

As of 11/2024 you cannot get a replacement spindle for it if metal spindle damaged , spindle uses M-10 nut and I had trouble changing tubes, the upper threads of spindle were worn down , maybe by my technique as I have new visual issues, luckily Tacoma screw could start a new M-10 nut that threaded better . Beware Knockoff suppliers of parts I was told by customer service. Better get warrantee extender.Oh, It can connect to my 2.5 shop vac dust collector. !!
