- Best Christmas present since I was a kid getting Lego sets.

- Purchased from an Aerospace mfg, Cubic Defense Systems, San Diego, CA. Thanks: Dane-pick-up, Willy-potter, Rene- Rucker to Bay Area. James Huston, for great P-C info.
- This was my first piece P-C stationary machinery, and I am now a big fan.
- Thoroughly cleaned the machine, derusted the unpainted parts.
- Belt Tracking mechanism wasn't working correctly so took tracking and tensioner apart, cleaned, dry lubed and aligned.
- G.E. 3/4. 1ph motor has no bearing noise(replaced by PO?) and is very quiet. becoming a GE motor fan...
- Tracking and tensioning are quick and precise
- May get around to stripping/painting someday in retirement
- plan replace light style switch, with toggle ball but orig switch works fine.

- This G4 Sander is now one of my favorite pieces of owwm as it's compact, stout, quiet and runs like a tank.

+ Thanks owwm!
