Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a spindle sander and a drum sander?

A spindle sander has a vertical drum that oscillates up and down. You hold the workpiece against the drum to sand edges and curves. A thickness drum sander has a horizontal drum with a feed table that pulls boards through to sand the face. Different tools for different jobs.

Does the Ridgid Lifetime Service Agreement cover the EB4424?

Yes. Register it within 90 days at ridgid.com. The LSA covers stationary tools the same as cordless. Motor, switch, and housing are covered for life.
