Comments:

I have been wanting to find an Atlas 5010 Sander since 2000 and have NEVER been able to find one out there for sale to buy. This one showed up on the Austin Craigslist for sale and was mounted to a nice old vintage type writer table with a strange "Toyang" brand blue hammer tone paint Taiwanese 3/4-HP motor. This sander was purchased by a Marine stationed in the Milwaukee area over 20 years ago and moved around the country with him ending up in Austin Texas.

I've heard it said that these Atlas 5010 Sanders are referred to by others on this website as their "Quest Machine" :)

I've only just cleaned up this sander, it is in INCREDIBLE original condition with all the factory Atlas paint still intact on it.
