Craftsman 109.22370 12in Disc Sander

I picked up this Disc Sander a few months back from an estate sale. It worked great, but could use a little cleaning up. I already had it apart before I started taking pics, but here are some of the unit before and after cleanup / repaint. The table it's sitting on I made out of a re-puposed sewing machine base I picked up a few weeks back. It's a bit wobbly, so I'll be looking for something a bit more stable for it.

I would make the platform square, (I personally think it would look better square) and beef up the sewing machine base. That sewing machine base is nice, and looks period correct.

Looks great and that sewing machine base is awesome. People usually want an arm and a leg where I am for them.

Thanks,
The base was just the two sides I picked up for $10. I bought a 3/8 rod, cut it into 3 pieces, threaded the ends, and added the round top from Home Depot for another $6. So all in all, I'm into it for under $25. The base by itself is pretty sturdy, but put that 60lb. machine on top, and the dynamics change a bit.

Great job on your restoration! It belongs in your living room as a decorative conversation piece.

Well, I love the sander more than the base, but it's your dog. I'd be a little tentative about tipping it over while using it. Very nice workmanship!

well, like i said, l like the stand,
but it's just me, again, I think a metal, square or rectangle top would look better.
Almost to me, looks like it's sitting on a bar stool.
Those are nice sanders, I have one too, But it's a 103.XXXXX

Great job on the resto! I've been hunting for a Cman 12" sander for some time.
Where are you located in Northern NJ. I'm in North Bergen County, right on the Rockland County border.
