Spindle sander setup budget calculator
Add your machine quote, abrasives, support and dust connections to compare complete spindle sander setups using your own current prices.
Compare complete setups, not isolated machine prices
Enter a current delivered machine quote, then add only the abrasives, support and extraction parts the exact package does not include. A lower machine price can produce a higher installed total when the bench, hose adapters or starter sleeve selection still need to be purchased. Keep tax and delivery visible instead of hiding them inside an estimated machine number.
Run a separate total for each realistic candidate and save the assumptions outside this browser-only calculator. Treat optional upgrades as a second scenario rather than required costs. The result is a purchasing comparison, not a quote, operating limit or recommendation to use an unverified stand, hose or abrasive.

Belt + spindle
combo · 4.5 in sleeve height
The 6524 combines spindle sanding with a 4-by-24-inch belt, useful when one station must handle concave profiles and straight edges. Its documented spindle speed is 2000 RPM; the much higher motor RPM is a different measurement.

Spindle sander
spindle · Sleeve height not confirmed
Six documented sleeve diameters, from 1/2 through 3 inches, give the fixed-table 6510T a wider upper diameter than WEN's AT6535. Choose by the curves and supported workpiece height, and keep replacement sleeve length separate from that height limit.
