Review on Shop Fox W1846 Benchtop Oscillating by Austin Arvayo

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not the best. in Sanders

I have several Shopfox products. Most of them are great. But this mill does not meet my requirements. I had to choose another spinel mill that allows it to be used as a belt mill as well. Now I will look for another tool that suits my needs. But the tool itself isn't that great. the base of the spindle rubs against the base plate as it reciprocates. I called the manufacturer and they instructed me to pry the part off with a screwdriver. Not perfect. The included sanding rollers tend to slip after a few minutes, rendering the tool useless and sometimes jeopardizing the project. In addition, the device is very heavy. Much harder than it should be. Hope this helps someone.

Pros
  • 1 inch spindle travel oscillating at 30 steps per minute
Cons
  • Available in white only
