Power King produced this sander, which was a precursor to the similarly sized but much more successful Atlas 5010. Noticeable differences are the art deco lines, and lighter support for the table (only one trunion). I used this primarily as a metal grinder, and I have made several knife edges quite successfully using a fine grit ceramic belt. It's great for finishing, but it is not powerful enough for stock removal.
