First CL find in a while. My "new" State T5 spindle sander on its way to the shop. It's not quite unloaded yet, DW insists that I not do it by myself, so it will wait for morning when my son comes over. I hope my improvised hoist works out-- it didn't fail immediately in a test lift. Everything is rated for at least 4x the weight involved, but there are many possible single points of failure. I'm going to put cribbing underneath so it can't fall very far. This beast is heavy! (550 lbs according to the State website.)
I'm building a bunch of Greene and Greene inspired tables, so many inside curves to fair out.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to be having questions about the spindles and how to use them!
