Product Information

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.

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. Last but not least in this review is this machine from Rutlands. It has a 450-Watt motor so that there can be flawless effectiveness at all times. You will like the quiet operation of the motor, making it possible for you to enjoy every time you spend on your sanding tasks. Also a badged import product, Triton recently introduced the TSPST450 which has almost the exact same specifications as its sibling. Add onto this the tiltable worktop and belt sanding unit it seems a very attractive alternative for relatively little additional cost.Triton TSPST450 450W Oscillating Spindle/Belt Sander The Triton 977604 450W Oscillating Spindle & Belt Sander TSPST450. Double configuration with fast easy changing between spindle sander and b . . . 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. The Triton TSPST450 oscillating belt and bobbin sander is a 2-in-1 machine. It can work as a belt or spindle sander, and switching from one mode to another is as easy as ABC. It boasts of a dynamic 450-Watt motor, hence, you should expect ultimate effectiveness at all times. You can tilt the table up to 45 degrees so as to get maximum precision of your jobs, especially when sanding edges. 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.

Compared to the TSPS450, this unit is clearly worse on many levels. Whilst its function as an oscillating spindle sander is more or less comparable (extraction excepted) it fails in almost every other aspect. The aluminium top (unlike the TSPS450's cast iron top) makes the unit light and prone to movement (unless bolted down) and several key points call the units long-term longevity into question. The main spindle drives the drums and sanding unit using one small keyed plastic disc. All of the force required to operate the unit is the equivalent of having a plastic clutch plate in your car! If you're the type to look for signs that a product is "engineered to fail", you'd be looking no further for a smoking gun. On the other hand, you could call this "failure to engineer". This interpretation applies equally to the awful method of translating the reciprocating motion of the spindle into linear motion of the sanding unit. Nothing about this speaks of quality, durability or simply being fit for purpose. I thought nothing of good looked at the device. Have read author story. Author does not like device reasons are many. I do not see money cost . I do not buy even if not dear.

With its dust port having a diameter of 38 millimetres, you can easily get rid of waste without much hassle. 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. 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....
