Choosing the right spindle sander is dependent on your budget and preferences. With the proper use of this guide, it is our belief that you will be able to make a flawless decision based on the information at your disposal. We received this machine as an "upgrade" (paid) exchange for the TSPS450 that developed an early electrical fault. Given the small timeframe between working with that machine and comparing it to this one, it would be impossible not to make direct comparisons when the are so similar in specification, common parts and their provenance as badged imports. The TSPS450 succeeds purely because it is unbelievably simple, and under the crappy exterior that's what this unit is in principle. It fails by attempting to add complexity whilst simultaneously killing durability, reliability and quality. And increasing the price tag. The spindle has a maximum load speed of 2000 revolutions per minute while the belt boasts of a speed of 480 metres per minute. There is an onboard-storage that makes it possible for you to keep your accessories without much hassle. You will like its dust extraction channel, which is situated under the table, and there are vented throat plates. Also, the oscillation of this machine makes sanding to be faster and it does not allow your workpiece to burn. You can tilt the front table up to 48 degrees so that it will be possible for you to engage in bevel sanding. The table comes with indents at well-known angles such as 0, 15, 22.5, 30 and 45 degrees so that you can be more flexible with your work.

Hot on the heels of our review for the Triton TSPS450 oscillating spindle sander, we're taking a look at its cousin which "offers" similar capabilities "in addition" to belt sanding.... With its no-load speed standing at 2000 revolutions per minute, you can be sure of getting the most satisfactory result. You will like its oscillating action, which stands at 58 oscillations per minute so that there will be reduction in friction during operations. This machine is compactly designed so as to enhance space-saving storage. For your money, the TSPS450 stands head and shoulders above this sorry mess. Whilst the TSPS450 doesn't buy you the oscillating belt-sander capability, neither does this one. Move along or buy the TSPS450, bearing in mind that other brands offer the same unit a little cheaper and likely with a less obstructive warranty than Triton's "3yr but only if you register within 30 days, and even then you'll have to pay for it to be pinged around our very few service centres worldwide". In its spindle sander configuration, the unit performs similarly to the TSPS450 and sounds just as loud! Without taking a peek under the hood, it is expected that the motor configuration is more or less the same, ie. a dual belt drive running the spindle and oscillation. These belts work by driving a pair of plastic rotary cams; one connected to the main spindle's rotation and the geared at a marginally-different speed to the first to actuate the vertical spindle motion via a cammed profile. Whilst not idea from a design standpoint, it is to be expected at this price range.

The Triton TSPST450 is a light duty benchtop machine driven by a 450W fixed-speed motor. The tabletop measures 430mm x 410mm (~17" x 16") and is made from two pieces of cast aluminium. The front half is capable of being angled up to 45° from flat, allowing angled sanding. The body of the machine is simple economical polypropylene, same as the TSPS450. The oscillating 13mm spindle can be fitted with one of five sanding sleeves; a 13mm sleeve fitted directly, or a 19mm, 26mm, 38mm or 51mm on rubber drums. The belt sanding unit provides a flat sanding face by simply dropping the unit into place and securing with a plastic thumbwheel. Power is managed by a single magnetic safety switch which prevents the units re-engaging should mains power be lost and re-established without manually disengaging the unit. Dust collection is provided through a single 38mm side-mounted port. All accessories and parts can be stowed around the body of the sanding unit for easy access. Our experiences with the Triton TSPS450 oscillating spindle sander were somewhat mixed. It was our opinion that it represented a great tool for the money in spite of it being a simple badged Far Eastern import with cheesy design and less than durable build quality. For the home gamer it would be a great addition to a workshop, as long as it didn't crap out within a few hours like ours did. Also, this machine boasts of both oscillating and rotating motions so that there can be a flawless finish of your jobs. Its table is made of heavy-duty cast iron so that there can be maximum durability, accuracy, and stability.
