Top 10 Algae Scrapers

10. Rikon 50-300

One of the most appealing features of the Rikon 50-300 (appx. $445) is its tilting table, which allows you to add another dimension to your work. It is equipped with a convenient built-in dust collector, so your shop or garage will stay clean.

9. Triton TSPS450

The Triton TSPS450 (appx. $170) is a decent choice for artistic woodworkers on a modest budget. It is ideal for creating or polishing contours, arcs, curves, and other irregular shapes you may want to build into your finished products.

8. Powertec OS1000

The Powertec OS1000 (about $100) is driven by a motor that packs a little less punch than many of the competitors, but its hefty weight keeps it stable and makes it worth considering. It operates smoothly, with few uncomfortable vibrations.

7. Wen AT6510

For casual home hobbyists, the price and simplicity of the Wen AT6510 (about $104) make it difficult to ignore. It spins at 2,000 RPM when not under load, and powers through small softwood projects with up to 58 oscillations per minute.

6. Grizzly G0739

The Grizzly G0739 (about $193) comes with five rubber sanding drums ranging from 3/4 of an inch to three inches in diameter. With a 1/2-inch spindle speed of up to 2,000 RPM, it can put smooth curves into your projects quickly and consistently.

5. Delta Woodworking Heavy-Duty Oscillating Bench

The Delta Woodworking Heavy-Duty Oscillating Bench (appx. $599) might be more machine than many casual hobbyists need but, although its size implies that it will be energy hungry, the motor is only 1/2 horsepower, which is on a par with many smaller units.

4. Shop Fox W1831

The Shop Fox W1831 (appx. $170) is equipped with a CSA-certified, permanent magnet motor, which means its magnetic field is constant and failsafe. At 30 pounds, it sits comfortably on most benchtops, though it might be a good idea to secure it if you’re working with heavy-grade lumber.

3. Jet 708404 JBOS-5

Whether you have a serious home woodworking shop or a professional artisan’s studio, the Jet 708404 JBOS-5 (about $470) will fit right in. Its 1/2-horsepower motor will help you tame even the toughest hardwoods on a table that tilts up to 45 degrees.

2. Shop Fox W1686

Professional woodworkers should look to the Shop Fox W1686 (about $1002) for their large projects. It is a standalone unit with a full horsepower induction motor and a generous 27-1/2 by 27-1/2-inch cast-iron table for supporting curved pieces.

1. Jet 723950

The floor-mounted Jet 723950 (appx. $1504) comes with a spindle lock that is easy to operate, so you can swap out your drums quickly. The main sleeve shaft is connected to high-performance ball bearings that create a smooth axial motion.
