Is this machine still being made today? ***Not the cantilever style. I have seen a few come up for sale , e bay, CL , Kijiji over the years, but 3 phase.
I am fascinated that you use 80 grit. Surely thats too rough after wood has been planed?***Not really, oak looks ok, but I final sanded, I used the ROS to 150 grit
So if i understand correctly with the table height being adjustable one could put a entire say coffee table under the belt to do final sanding? ***sure, it has an approx 30" working height under the belt or more if supported from the floor with the table flipped down.
