No, it is a separate item.WrigleysHuman wrote:Thanks, I didn't even notice the sander
until earlier today. I think my first convo with the seller indicated he may have already sold that separately. The speed reducer is part of the sander?

Re: To buy or not to buy...
If you have the room for separate machines then go that direction. If you do not have the room go with the Shopsmith.
I think everyone that is honest will have to admit the Shopsmith has to make compromises to achieve the ability to be versatile. These compromises in some cases become glaring when compared to standalone machines.
If you have the room buy individual standalone machines, if on the other hand you do not have the room for individual machines then the Shopsmith is an obvious answer.
I you like to fiddle around and invent things the Shopsmith is the beginning of a great erector set. But if woodworking is your goal there are better options.
