Well what can you say about a machine as butt-simple as this? But I'll try.
Purchased through IRS Auctions from Cooper Stair Company out of Mundelein IL. It was advertised as a model 2C 4" edge sander, so I was hoping they put wider wheels and platen on it. Couldn't tell from the thumbnail pictures. It turns out they just added a wooden block to the platen to increase the belt capacity. Oh well, still a fine little machine. All I've done to it was to remove some wooden guards that were on it and make a cabinet base from some material I had laying around. Still need to make a proper table for it.
