    6 X 48/12 belt disc sander switch question

    Thanks for all the info. It is a dual voltage machine. 110/12-220/6. The hole the switch is in has some non factory looking grinds on it…. Enough to clearance that switch. I’ll replace it with another one. I’m usually pretty kind to my tools and have never overloaded the other belt/disc I have.

    6 X 48/12 belt disc sander switch question

There are four wires from the...

    Which import belt and disk sander is this?

    I have one that looks just like that. The label says "Elephant" if I remember correctly. I can get a pic if needed. Mine had some broken pieces, including what you are describing (table trunnion). I purchased them from Grizzly and they fit perfectly. I wasn't paying enough attention when...
