Bought this at live auction in Brooklyn,NY on wednesday,January 31,2007.I paid $750 for this Oliver spindel sander.The motor tilts form 90 degrees to 45 degrees from the table by the way of a hand wheel located on the right side of the machine.You can also rise and lower the height of the spindel to get better use of the sand paper.It came with 1/2"and 1" spindels and 1",1 1/2",2",3",4"and 6" rubber drums.The sander came with four different size throat plates and ten cases of different size sand paper drums.It is 1h.p.,205 volts,3 phase.I also scored half a truck load of hardwood lumber (red oak,
maple,birch,white oak) for $55 and a emmert K-1 pattern makers vice for $88.This was one of the best auctions I been to in terms of what i got and what i spent.
