Comments:

I do not know much about this sander, other than it works, and uses an odd size belt. I don't know the color it was born with, but I tend to paint things red, as you can see. I initially had problems get the belt on track, but discovered I was spinning the unit 4 times faster that it was supposed to go according to a similar model made by tomlee tools in a catalog. If you know anything about these, feel free to contact me.
