Found this going out for scrap. Had to ask if it was worth messing with. It weighs a ****** ton. Department stated it wasnt functioning but it could be something simple. I havent dug into it yet.

Looks like a partial locomotive style. Fun project

Nice one. This is a great thread.

How about a classic Porter-Cable thread?
Hi folks, I don't post here very often, since my shop is in my basement and my attempt at a garage revamp thread fizzled ( both the thread and the revamp, if I'm honest), but I like to stop by and appraise the furniture every so often. You know, admire Gregor's latest project/post, crib...

Runs fine. Dust collector bag is finished. Seems to have no oil left in it. Power switch isn't shutting it off. I was trying to figure out if it could be mounted vertically like a linishing machine but it looks like it would be very hard to mount as such.
It needs a new power cord. I think ill have to file this in the same category as a B&D Wildcat; awesome tool that I just don't have a use for. I certainly don't need another project.
Maybe I'll put it in the local classifieds to see if there is any interest.

It could be made to look like this.
Contact fellow GJ member Don Long
I bet he’d be happy to pay shipping and more.

At one time I really would have enjoyed having a working belt sander no matter how heavy it was. Maybe you can find someone who will give it a "Good Home".
