Beefy belt sander

[Copymutt]

Weekend score at a garage sale.
Just a heads up. Never tell your wife to take whatever is offered for your tools!
$5.00 Model 315.11782. 4”” x 24” w/ dust collection. Couldn’t pass on it as my newer sanders are worn out. Definitely want to secure the work or it’ll launch it through a wall. Had to reconfigure my tool chest to make room.

I had one awful similar to that and could never get it to track straight.

Eventually sold it. Put in the ad this sander is for someone with more patience than me. Maybe the guy who bought it knew the trick?
