Unknown craftsman belt sander

[carterry2]

Picked this nice heavy unit and haven't been able to find any information on it. Looks like a walker turner type sander. Anyone have any insight for me??? Much appreciated! I plan to restore it!

Have you looked at the available literature over at Vintage Machinery? You might figure out more by checking out the available instruction literature. Vintage Machinery Craftsman sanders

I agree, Walker-Turner.

It is a Walker-Turner. Look for SM700-705 sanders. 1940's

Looks like the Walker Turner I sold last summer.

Pretty cool ole piece, OP
My 1990's Craftsman sander has a similar layout, but made out of plastic.
I like yours

Like new!

There is a vertical table that sits at the end of the sanding belt section. Seen a few on eBay.

I watched the last one...couldn't convince myself it was worth 275$. Hopefully one turns up for a little less.

In response to my original question I found that walker turner made power tools for craftsman in the 30s and this is one of those tools. Original color would of been a blue. Just in case anyone finds this in a search later.
