Comments:

I acquired this machine from Nelson Cabinet Works, Canton, Illinois. It had been in their basement unused since the 1930's. The infeed and outfeed tables are wooden, and there was a beadboard dust catcher built into the sander under the drum. It was original, and fell apart during disassembly. The name of the manufacturer is engraved into the casting instead of cast in raised letters. Estimated weight of this machine is 1000lbs.
