2 Cast Iron Orbital Sander polishers. 11-12" pads. 1 GEM, 1 HM brand. Run fine.

Description

Both from an estate sale of a woodworkers shop. We have two rugged cast iron Orbital Sanders with pad diameters of 11" and other at 12". You will have to come up with the correct pads for your use. One has a thick foam pad of some kind on it now. The HM brand one weighs in at 18lbs. and the GEM one weighs 19 lbs. They both run smooth and the cords are usable. These are plenty heavy for large surface jobs where the weight of the machine does the job. GEM still makes a similar 11" one and I will copy some info on it below....it sells for 5 on Klingspor's woodworking equipment online.
Both tested but selling as is with no returns or refunds, please. Shipping based on UPS Ground from Florida zip 34608 in a new heavy duty box size of about 24X13X12 and weighing 40 lbs. I will pack them well. Local pick-up is free and OK.
These are great machines for large slab tables, Corian surfaces and other large panels.
The GEM 11" sander drastically reduces labor by more than half. This heavy duty machine runs at 1700 "orbits" per minute without the possibility of creating the swirl marks associated with high-speed rotary buffers. Smooth, hand-polish action safeguards against surface damage. GEM's counter weight system is well balanced and smooth running, so you can guide the sander over the surface and let the 18 lbs. of weight do the work for you.
GEM's orbital action sands, polishes and finishes with a motion like that of the human hand! It sands equally well and uniformly on solid surface and wood products. The GEM Orbital comes with a Kling-On (Hook and Loop) fastening system for use with standard discs, non-woven or buff with the corresponding backing.
This is the ideal sander for abrading larger surfaces like Solid surface (i.e. Corian), wood slabs, sheet material, veneered panels and any other applications where a small sander just won't get it done.
