Comments:
I purchased this sander in an estate sale in Lancaster,Texas along with a 6 1/8 in. jointer. It had been part of a large home workshop and the owner had not used them in many years. The bad news was,in addition to the tools' inactivity, he stored chlorine for pools in an adjacent room. The machines were both covered in rust anywhere they were exposed to the air.

The good news is it was complete with the guards and all parts and I bought both tools for $100. After many hours of buffing and cleaning, I completely disassembeld the sander and replaced the rusted bolts and repainted all items. I added factory casters from Craftsman purchased new on ebay. I even had the original stamped wrenches hanging on a bolt on the stand. Sorry I do not have a "before" photo. I was digitally challenged at the time.

Comments: Sander front view after the restoration and a little use. This monster really hogs the wood off when you need to.
