Well, I'm back from our flying trip to Denver and brought back a new toyl for the shop.
Sitting in the back of the truck - box covered with a tarp in case it rained.
The tarp is off - it was crated very well.
Here's the label on the crate.
And the top of the crate is off!
Yep, that's a Steel City 15-30" wide-belt sander. We lucked into getting one this weekend (no, I'll never tell). This is a pre-production model and was going to get stripped for parts and scrapped, but we got to it first! Scott Box has the parts to update it to production standards, so it won't be up and running for a few days.
LOML got the base and belt shroud (and all the other extraneous parts) off the truck tonight and into the shop. He will get a mobile base fixed for it, then we'll get the head off the pallet and into the shop in a couple of days.
More pictures will follow when it's all assembled.
Are we happy???? You betcha!!
