🪚 WEN 6510SPC Spindle Sanding Assortment Review

I'm a handyman and the spindle sander is one of the main tools in my workshop. These are really good sanding guns, especially for the price. I use home stock Diablo brand sleeves (my machine is a Ridgid belt/spindle sander) and they're great, but you can't get an extra fine grit there. I received and used it today and am very happy with it. Tip: Use one of these rubber sandpaper cleaners often and they'll last quite a while.

80 grit seems much coarser than 80 grit. Should be 60 grit or something. There was no 240 grit, mine had 2 sets of 120 grit. I build guitars and basses and I really need to be able to sand down the bodies of the guitars that I build. The wood must be sanded to 220-240 grit to allow the abrasive compound to penetrate and lift the fibers before the top coat is applied. Now I have to order a separate set of finer grit bushings. There was no way to contact the seller with them and they are from…

I have purchased a WEN 5932 orbital sander which can be used in manual mode or mounted on a table with the brackets that come with it. While the sander and included sample bushings work great, the additional grit bushings I ordered were too long for the spindle drum and I had to cut off about 1 1/2 inches to fit. The problem was the loose fit. The bushings slipped and pulled away from the spindle no matter how hard I tightened the locknut and no matter how carefully I installed the washer. This
