Keye,

I have one of those units. The spindle length is 4 1/2" and the oscillating spindle/belt stroke is 3/4"@ 60 strokes/min.. (It comes with a 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1 1/2" and 2" spindles and a 4"x24" belt.)

It's a great little sander and gets used a lot around my place.

Wayne

I, too, have one and like it very much.

Be aware that the foot print is roughly 20 x 17. So it's not a real small unit.
Conversion from belt to spindle sanding is a breeze. It has on board storage
for all the components. It has a built in dust port, but the dust collection is
not all that great, not bad, but could be a lot better.

Hope this helps with your decision.

Thanks,
