MAKE: Powermatic
MODEL: 30A Belt and Disc Sander
MOTOR: 1.5 HP 1PH Motor
YEAR: 1975
HISTORY: Purchased from a high school shop auction. Originally had a 1.5 HP 3PH Motor that I swapped out for a single phase and changed the electrics appropriately. Changed to a period correct Furnas manual starter and painted it to match using Rustoleum Hammered Dark Green. Added a graphite cloth as a sacrificial platen and to reduce friction on the belt sander portion of the machine. Functional cleanup.
