The patented disk sander design has a rather interesting history. It was first manufactured by Pioneer Dustless Disk Co. of Syracuse; as the name suggests, the emphasis was on the machine's integrated dust collection. Within a year or so it was being manufactured under the name of Syracuse Sander Mfg. Co. That firm was acquired by Porter-Cable Machine Co. in 1922.
Inventor Ray Carter later developed the first successful general-purpose router; see patent 1,433,497. |

The invention is an oscillating spindle sander that was sold as the Syracuse S-1 and, once Porter-Cable bought them out in 1922, the Porter-Cable S-1. Essentially the same mechanism was used in the benchtop versions, O-2, O-3, and O-4.
This patent is of additional interest because inventor Ray Carter developed the first successful general-purpose router; see patent 1,433,497. |
