The last big machine out of the Petersen Boatyard in Nyack,N.Y.The sander weighs in around 8600 lbs.and had to be moved from inside the building across a uneven wood floor to outside across a wood deck on machine skates to where the forklift could pick it up.It took about 3 1/2 hours of jacking,prying,rolling,use of a cable jack and a lot of chains.Like the rest of the machines this machine is in very good working condition.The first head is 10 h.p. and the second head is 7 1/2 h.p.,both are 220 volts,3 phase.The endless bed is mechanical feed as is the raise and lowering of the bed height.I plan on keeping this machine for use in the shop.
