Comments:

This is another of the machines seen at White's Woodworking, a pattern shop near Wilmington Delaware which had been established in 1916. This spindle sander is in good operating condition. It appears to have a fixed spindle, with provision for different throat plates and rubber drums. A lever in the back of the machine allows one to disconnect the oscillating feature.

It appears very well made and still runs smoothly. What the orignial switch looked like, who can tell? The only dating information available is that the sander was in the shop when the present owner's father started there in 1946. If anyone has further information on this maker or the specifics of this machine please post it to the OWWM site.
