I would be inclined to keep it. You could do a moderate to full blown resto with that DP. You don't even really have to do it "right now". Hang on to it for awhile, and then you might find yourself comming up with plans and ideas for it. Kinda like an old car/truck. Good luck!

Here you go...simple and sweet

Gotcha :beer:...

o For $100 I could get 3 stands built specifically for it from HF. Unless your sanding/grinding more than 1/2" off whatever....you shouldn't need to be hunched over long enough to get a sore back.

Oh I don't fault the seller. Didn't bother me but for maybe 5 minutes or so then I was over it lol.

Cleaning up the back yard yesterday. I had an old Weber charcoal grill that needed hauled to the dump. I decided to use the stand to mount my newly aquired disk/belt sander, so I cleaned it up a little bit. Need to come up with a table top which shouldn't be difficult to come up with...

Well, I blame it all on myself. Even though I shook the guys hand and said I would be back tomorrow....guess that don't mean anything anymore to some people

Yes I was able to use the garage sale one. Its a little bit smaller than the original one though. It will do for now.

Thanks! Thanks! Now I need to track down a stand for it to go on Nice read! It's been at the house for half a day and I've already used it twice lol!

Well, I put it all back together and tried it out. I'm really happy with it. There is still a few things I need to take care of. I'm going to search for a bigger Jacobs chuck/arbor and shorten the handles about 2" and keep searching for that metal band up top. I used high temp grease on...

Set out for a good morning of garage selling today. I found and bought a Cal Hawk belt/disc sander. He was asking $60 for it. I told him I would give him a crisp $20 bill and before he could counter offer, his wife stood up from her chair and said "SOLD!" :lol_hitti So I plugged it in...
