Comments:

Darra-James / Toolkraft made disc/belt sanders for a long time but it appears that the Model 320 was introduced in 1948 and was replaced by the Model 325 in 1949 or '50.

This machine belongs to Gary Tash, who provided the photo. The stand is original. The disc table with miter gauge slot was made by a machinist at the Crystal City Glass Works, Crystal City, MO.
