The sander I am talking about is the one that Frank posted a picture of. It is built the same as the old Delta its just missing the bearings in the wheels and yes Frank is right about them being noisy.
My first one of these was a Buffalo brand and I ran it everyday for about 5 years until the motor burned up and I do mean burned up, fire went right up the wall
Jet also made these and the Friend mentioned above had a bunch of them.
Frank the key to making this sander do almost anything you want it to do is in trimming the backer plate to 3/4" wide and using something to knock that sharp edge off of the sanding belts and keep the piece moving in a nice smooth motion. I never found anything I couldn't sand with it and do better than a drum except inside of a closed part.
I would check with Grizzly and see if they still have that model that Frank listed they are not in the Catalog but they were still selling them in the Springfield Mo store just a few weeks ago thats why I bought one when I see it. I can alway install bearing in the wheels when the cheap bushing go bad but that will be a ways down the road as I just keep buying better ear protectors

Thanks for that info Jay. I'll check it out w/Grizzly. (maybe they're coming out with a new model)
