Comments:

While stroke sanders might get little respect, this one should at least get someting for *style*. The sander languished at least two cycles on ebay, and did not receive even a single bid on its last go-round. The seller advertised that it's located along the beautiful Hudson River Valley, and must be picked up by the buyer.

Moore is listed as a carving and duplicator maker, but this machine serves as evidence of Moore's brief foray into the abrasive belt business. The owner estimates that the machine weighs-in at 1500 lbs and consumes 10' x 5.5' of floorspace. The sander's table measures 77" long.
