Best Edge Sander in 2023 (Reviews and Comparison)

1. JET OES-80CS Oscillating Edge Sander

The JET OES-80CS is a large floor-standing workshop edge sander with a wide range of features.

The long 89” belt allows for the sanding of large pieces, and the 90° tilting belt means you can sand horizontally, vertically, and everywhere in between for accurate bevel edges.

Having an oscillating belt (the belt moves up and down as it turns) increases the area in contact with the wood. This removes sanding marks, reduces heat build-up, and increases belt life.

The large height-adjustable table also helps to use different areas of the belt, as well as positioning it for more comfortable operation.

An extra table section around the end of the belt is included so you can sand contours on the 4-¼” drum.

A lever tension release makes belt changing a quick and simple task.

This is a large and pricey edge sander and is best for professionals and frequent users sanding mainly larger pieces of wood.

WHAT WE LIKE

The JET OES-80CS is a solid and powerful professional-level edge sander. With an 89” long belt and large table, it is ideal for smooth edges and bevels on large pieces like shelves and doors.

The BUCKTOOL motor direct drive design is 25% more efficient than the traditional design; it can maximize the development of a 3/4 HP fully enclosed induction motor, providing quiet but powerful performance

The belt can tilt from 0 to 90 degrees for horizontal and vertical sanding to meet your project, and the driven drum allows for sanding of curved workpieces, it has a quick sanding belt replacement design & track control function.

Equipped with two cast aluminum workbenches for more convenient sanding, and the sturdy cast aluminum base with rubber foot prevents vibrations, to ensure a better experience, we suggest matching with our Y-Fitting Hose.

Two-in-one sanding machine includes both a 4 x 36-inch belt and a 6-inch disc, the angle adjustable work table with a miter gauge can be used on both sanding disc and belt.

WHAT WE LIKE

The direct drive 3/4 HP motor is well enough to handle most projects. It’s relatively quiet and vibration-free. A professional quality tool at a reasonable price.

The ability to quickly change from vertical and horizontal on the belt is a big plus. The sander is powerful and won’t bog down like other bench sanders.

The WEN 6524 is a highly rated edge sander with some good features. It is actually a belt and spindle sander combined, so you get a lot of sander for your money.

With oscillating action and five spindles ranging from ½” to 2” for curved sanding and a 45-degree tilting table for bevel sanding make it a very versatile edge sander.

The onboard storage for the spindles and attachments makes it easier to keep track and not lose parts.

This is a great choice for users needing a lot of features without breaking the bank.

WHAT WE LIKE

The extra spindle sanders make this sander great for sanding a multitude of curve and arc sizes as well as straight edges on the belt.

The onboard storage keeps everything together and organized.

The Rockwell Belt/Disc Combo Sander is a compact unit at a great price.

The belt tilts from one end up to 90° so that it can be used with the belt horizontally or vertically for easier positioning and handling of the wood.

The small bevelling table has miter adjustments alongside a 6” disc sander for precise bevel sanding.

This product doesn’t have a table alongside the belt but a small fence/stop to support the wood, so it would be good for those budget-conscious users who only want to do occasional edge sanding.

WHAT WE LIKE

The Rockwell Combo Sander is at a great price point for a belt sander and a disc sander in one clever and compact benchtop product.

The Triton TSPST450, as you can see, is almost identical in looks and specification to the WEN 6524 above.

It has the same 4” x 24” oscillating belt for extended belt life and smoother sanding, five spindle sanders for various diameter curve sanding, and a mid-size 45° tilting table for bevel sanding.

It also comes with onboard accessories storage to keep the unit tidy and compact.

This is another good mid-range edge sander that is suitable for beginners as well as established woodworkers.

The difference is that WEN was founded in 1951 and is based in Illinois, and Triton products have been around since 1976 and are designed in Australia.

WHAT WE LIKE

Like the WEN 6524, the extra spindle sanders and onboard storage are really useful extras.

This quality tool from Rikon uses quality components built to last.

It is a similar design to the Rockwell Combo Belt/Disc Sander, but it has a much more powerful motor better suited to pros, as well as a larger 10” disc which allows you to sand larger sections at bevel angles.

A 48” long belt allows edge sanding of large pieces without being too large and cumbersome for smaller jobs.

Curves can be sanded on the end of the belt drum roller.

WHAT WE LIKE

The powerful motor won’t stall while sanding, and the large 10” disc means you can sand wider bevel edges.

With the included stand, it can be used free-standing or separately on a worktop.
