Comments:

Recently obtained from North Brothers Architectural in Woodbury, NJ, this machine came to me through two other nice OWWMers, and I am very appreciative. Though non-oscillating, the sander is a nice upgrade from the ACME sander that once graced this end of the shop. The small-end sanding table adjusts up and down and also tilts. The main table does not tilt, but does travel up & down with a rack & pinion arrangement.

Special thanks also to Chuck Hess, who also drives this same model, and also was kind enough to post the spec sheet for ECCO's edge sanders on the owwm.com site. This model machine weighs in at 425 w/o the base according to that data sheet.
