Overview

WEN's 6524 sander is a corded, benchtop-scale unit drawing 3.5 amps and spinning up to 2000 RPM. At about 27 pounds and roughly 18 by 16 by 18 inches, it's sized to sit on a workbench rather than be carried around a job site.

The amperage and RPM point to a machine built for stock removal and shaping rather than light hand finishing, and the near-27 pound weight helps keep it planted during use without needing to be bolted down for occasional jobs.

  • 3.5 amp motor
  • 2000 RPM
  • 27 lb weight
  • 18.5 x 16.5 x 18 in footprint

Who it's for

For shop use such as flattening edges, deburring metal or shaping wood at a bench, rather than handheld finish sanding.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Corded for continuous run time
  • Solid motor draw for a benchtop unit
  • Stable, planted weight at 27 lb
Cons
  • No belt or disc size specified
  • Not portable like a handheld sander

Performance notes

3.5 amps at 2000 RPM gives real torque for stock removal, and the 27 pound weight in an 18 inch footprint keeps the unit stable on a bench without extra clamping for light use.
