I don't own a power station but on my list of things to get. Would like to just find a Mark V cheap to make a mini.

I did buy the belt sander new from Shopsmith two years ago. Wish I had purchased it sooner. I like it a lot. To sand with variable speed is a dream.

Last I knew there was an Air Force Col. out at Wright Patterson (I forget his name, nice guy) who buys about anything he can over a fairly wide area to sell as parts. I bought a few pieces from him several years ago. I suspect that he keeps that part of the state kind of drained of used ones.

the setup and use of the belt sander isn't hard but the manual does go into several tips and maintenance items that make it a must. Do get the manual.

The date tag is inside. Take the belt off and you will see it. I think that is where it is.:D
