My WiFi connection is too unstable to look it up right now but that triangular shaped logo and A.C. Motor screams Miller Falls to me.

That's one I'd have to go get.

Search Miller Falls as two words instead of one as the seller wrote. There are some grinders discussed at Vintage Machinery. Surprised it's 1/3 HP but if the stand is included and not a poorly executed homemade one I think the price is good.

Here is the Miller Fall's photo index page.

I'm on a different computer now. Is that a disc sander on the right side?

Price has dropped to $75. I would like to make a buffer out of this. THOUGHTS?

You will be limited in buff size (to smaller, narrow buffs) due to lack of power and higher speed of the unit.

I am going to look at this on Sunday. I just noticed the side table. Is this an add-on?
