Its a fairly standard 6x48" belt sander, but mounted vertically. Fine by me since I can just bolt it onto the wall.
Since the motor is 3 ph (1 hp), it was hard to sell and I picked it up for $90.
Its in perfect working condition but will get a cleanup anyway. A small custom table has been added.

Although it looks somewhat DIY, its extremely heavily built.
I bought this mainly to sharpen my wood-turning chisels - which is does very well.

Ultimately, this machine was really not great.
Even after a lot fussing and attempts to repair it, I gave up. And junked it.
