So I came up with a simple design for one that any damn fool can implement in the hobby shop making his or her own shop built machine.
‘Cept I dunno why.
I’ve never had one and am unsure of its utilitarian value

I’d have said the same thing about an in ground swimming pool or sliding table saw before I had them too so I know I’m speaking from iggornunce ( sic).

ERGO the question: Do you have one and is it the best thing since sliced smoked salmon and if so why?
( before I incur the $$ and bother of building one)

I have one that gets a lot of use following the bandsaw. It works well to remove saw marks on curved pieces. I tried a drum on my drillpress before I had the OSS and hated it. The paper loaded up/burned the wood. I dont have either problem with my HF OSS

I have a PC Portable with an aluminum plate the exact same size as my router and I wouldn’t even think of having it ant other way.

I have the grizzly floor model. Use it every day. Been a real time saver. It was one of those machines that you think, do I really need it ? Then after you get it you wonder why you hand sanded with a foam block for 15 years. By the way I have their flap sander too. Use it every day also. Makes you wonder why you thumb sanded all those round overs all those years .

Use mine all of the time. Similar to a Grizzly.

I have a PerformaX OSS … don’t use it every day I am in the shop, but when I need it, it sure comes in handy. Very east to ‘sand to the line’, and take out saw marks.

I want one, if you do a lot of curve cuts that require sanding I’ll
bet the oscillating spindle sander is better than popcycles in July.

I have a delta B.O.S.S. I use it all most every day, but I wish the spindel was longer like the one grizzly sells.
