Ever seen a belt sander like this?

[Thesian]

Hi Gents,

Have a local seller with a belt sander for sale that looks promising. Supposed to have a new motor. Any help on the ID of this brand or maker would be very much appreciated! I'll post the pics I have below.

Thanks again!

Looks like a burr king style. I have one Baldor madre.

Yea, it's an industrial style. Like for sharpening knives all day; or anything really. Emphasis on ALL DAY.

Never seen one like that myself, but I want it. Nice score.

Baldor belt grinder - the version without the tilt back feature for better access to the bottom contact wheel. A nice 2x48 belt grinder for the money.

The baldor stand is worth $100

Thanks sir and this would be correct. I found the below pic which matches her. I picked her up for $200 and a minor hernia (jokes). Stock photo below but I’ll be cleaning her up and posting pics!

That model looks to be the Baldor 2048-151D presuming it is single phase. Here is a link to the manual, parts lists, etc.

2048-151D

$200 with base is a great price.

Well, I’m tired but happy. Spent the whole weekend getting the old girl back up to snuff. Still have some decals and an e-stop switch coming to bring her service ready, but wanted to share with all of you fellows who helped with answers.

Have a great evening

I hope you are not going with the cut rate Amazon e-stop switches. If so, you might measure the contact resistance. I supposedly bought some quality ones for a lower current application at work and most had 3-4 ohms of resistance but were rated for 15A. If I had used them at max current I am not sure if they would have melted, caught on fire or both. I usually look for NOS industrial grade ones on Ebay for a steep discount.

E-stop was a poor choice of words as it isn’t safety redundant an isolated like industrial code. Just an on/off box with a Mashable stop button. PO had her plug and play .

Thanks for the tip.

Damn nice score. I bought a used 2x72 Ameribrade belt grinder for $1600 to make knives with. You scored.
