The machine was acquired from a warehouse in Nebraska. I completely disassembled the sander and stripped it to bare metal. All exposed surfaces were treated with Permatex rust treatment prior to priming. I chose a paint scheme with caution yellow around the moving parts, and to just add a little variety to the shop. It just looks better than the dull green that Max used. The open frame motor was replaced with a new Baldor TEFC 2hp motor, and the starter replaced with a variable frequency drive that allows for speed control, reversing and use with either a three phase or single phase source. The sanding disc was hand lapped with a large lapping plate to 500 grit. All fasteners have been replaced with stainless steel units. After assembly the runout on the disc is only 0.002", which is fantastic for a disc sander. The table tilt and raising mechanism operate so smoothly you can raise the table with a single finger on the handwheel. The addition of the heavy locking casters makes it easy to move the machine to other locations in my shop.
