7. Triton Oscillating Spindle/Bobin Sander Review (TSPS450)

Is it any good? Find out if this budget spindle sander is any good.
This is a review of the budget Triton Oscillating Spindle sander TSPS450, I've been using this for 4 months now in my wood workshop and am very pleased with the product, there are a couple of small modifications I've made and I cover these in the video.
I didn't buy sander to review, I bought it because I needed on for a DIY project my son was working on, I'd always wanted one so it felt was a great excuse to get one!
The sander came with a 3yr warrantee / guarantee
Pros:
- Good value for money
- Works well
- Dust free
Cons:
- Minor issues with the dust port connecting to a Henry hoover - I show how I fixed this with a 3D printed part, but you could just use electrical tape
- Nowhere to store the washers needed to compress the bobbins. easily fixed using a piece of M8 stud.
(Both cons I fixed very easily see video).
The sander seems to also be sold by other brands such as VonHaus, and Draper.

Thank you for the review. I’m about to pull the trigger and buy one of these and your demonstration and thoughts have been helpful. Cheers 👍😎🇦🇺

I'm glad it helped, whilst it is a cheap oscillating sander I've been very pleased with it, hopefully you will too.

Good review, I have this on my xmas list so fingers crossed, I've noticed of late Amazon prices have rocketed currently its in Toolstation at the minute for £129.98.

Thanks for the feedback. It is a great tool - I forgot to mention it has a 3yr warranty.

[@DIYTinkerer]

That sounds like a bargain 😀

Does yours automatically shut itself off? Hoping it's a safety feature and is not broken

[@DIYTinkerer]

No, it stays on, but I haven't used for long periods, usually no more than 10 min at a time.

@@DIYTinkerer I think it's going into protection mode as it's run on same extension supplying my dust extractor
