Comments:

I bought this from a industrial surplus seller (which is what I am too) just as you see here. It has an 8" x 74" platen of trussed cast iron attached to adjustable uprights. It has a 5.5hp, 3ph motor and runs powerfully. It may have seen better days but everything important is still straight, the motor pulls hard and sands like it should. It is SOOOOO nice to have a LONG platen edge sander. Rodgers states the belts used are 6" x 213".
