Review on πŸŒ€ WEN 6510T Spindle Sander with Oscillating Functionality by Maurice Stavros

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Amazing price for a great tool!

This is the cheapest of a batch of almost identical grinders, differing only in paint color and ring. The working internals are all the same. So if you don't care what color your grinder is, this is the best choice. And it doesn't look bad! Although my plastic rings are yellow, not orange. ;) When working, the vibration movement is smooth, and the table is flat and perpendicular to the shaft. Dust extraction works great. Some find that the dust collector doesn't fit the end of their hose. For them, I'd recommend the unsung hero of dust collection fittings: the adjustable rubber tube connector. They come in a variety of sizes and the stainless steel clips on each end allow you to adjust the final inner diameter for a perfect fit. Here's the one I used to make a well-sealed, strong connection to my 27mm Festool hose end: Fernco P1056-125 1-1/4" Rod Coupler. They're also available at any major DIY center. Take Simply thread one end 1-1/4 and the other end the appropriate size to ensure a secure friction on your hose.The 1-1/4 end slides on the outside of the grinder's plastic dust cup with minimal clearance, and tightening the belt clamp makes it a semi-permanent part of your grinder.

Pros
  • Power tools
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly
