This disc sander was removed from the woodshop in 2021 - the Axminster Belt & Disc Sander had taken over its main role, and the open casing of the motor on this sander had become a fire risk because the interior was filled with sawdust. As of 2021 this sander was in storage in the metal shop, so it could be revived if anybody has a specific use for it

Specs of the motor:

  • Type BS2406
  • RPM 1405
  • HP 1/3
  • Phase 1
  • 50Hz
  • Volts 230
  • 2.4 Amps
  • Made by British Thomson-Houston, Rugby, England. (Company no longer trading)
  • Part number TD3205
