Ekstrom Carlson 112 Single Sided Oscillating Edge Sander Serial # 405, after photos.

This could be the longest restore in history. The unrestored machine is below. Repaint and restore. I run both motors on separate VFDs. Love the speed control offered by VFD. This is in my Florida hobby shop. Purchased by me in Illinois. Sat in my S/E WI woodshop un-running for a long time. Moved with me to Florida. It's running perfectly today.

Notice the cart that my brother made for it. Super handy when moving from WI to FL.

Comments: Sander as it sits in my Florida shop. Shop has AC and dehumidifiers. Note the VFD box on right. The white on the table legs is a dry lubricant.
