Did you notice the engagement ring and wedding ring about half way down the post? Selling his tools and the rings- she must have been a real heart breaker!

It's got to be a spindle sander with 1/2 hp and "extra drums". Most drum sanders have much bigger motors. I have been looking for a oscillating spindle sander for quite awhile. I don't really "need" one so am waiting for the right one at the right price. Now if that was a floor model Griz, General, Delta, etc. it would be a good deal. Not so good if a bench model.

Sent him an email, so will see what the deal is.

Good points. I think I (mis)interpreted the extra drums as extra sandpaper rolls. Hope it works out for you.

Here is what he said:

"RYOBI, bench model, new machine, Oscilating unit"

I couldn't find a good source/price, but believe that unit goes for around $100!!! The Ryobi looks identical to this $99 one from Harbor Freight.

Oh, well, someday I'll find a nice & cheap OSS.

I was in Nashville, TN 2 weeks ago and General Industrial Supply had a few of the Jet OS-10 units for $660. Boxes looked rough but they guarantee everything. They have a contract with WMH to manage all of their transit damaged equipment and returns.

They also had a single phase, 220v Powermatic 22in disc sander which had taken a hit and cracked off an inconspicuous part of the guard for $1250. They evidently have a regular run to Knoxville and offered to haul it there at no charge if I could meet them. I just wiped the drool off my shirt and said no thanks:-(.

Jimbo Williams seemed to be the man in charge. The website has no details. They turn over their stock fast. 800-371-2220
