Comments:

This machine was acquired at auction and is one of six Oliver 34-DSD sanders ordered by the Defense Department in 1978. This one went to an Air National Guard base in West Virginia and saw very little use. When I restored the machine, the worm gear cases for both table tilt mechanisms had the original dollop of undisturbed honey colored grease. The cone clutch for the spindle sander was pristine and the bearings for the 30” disc/spindle motor looked brand new. The disc/spindle bearings were repacked with fresh grease along with the gear boxes for the table tilt. The gear oil in the spindle transmission was drained and new oil put into the clean sump. The machine was repainted to match the original color. The runout at the edge of the disc is .006”. Top Oliver quality!
