This machine was found sitting in a yard in San Pedro, California (next to Long Beach harbor). It is a combo machine with a 30" diameter disc sander and an oscillating spindle sander. It was purchased from a local dealer for the purpose of building a replica of a old sailing vessle - a tall ship. Once the project was over, all machinery was available for sale. The fellow selling it said that when it was turned off at the end of the day, it would take over 1/2 hour to stop spinning.

A very nice machine, but too big for my garage shop.

The machine was sold in Dec. '03.
