WTB: Stand for Rockwell/Delta 6x48 Sander

[wolfsburged]

I am wrapping up a restoration project of a Rockwell/Delta 6x48 sander. However I do not have a stand for it. My preference would be to find an original 4-leg welded steel factory stand for this, but would be open to sheet metal stand or other sturdy options.

The closer to Cary, NC the better.

Nice looking piece of “Old Iron”. Great restoration.

I'll easily second that and add that you've done no small amount of work to get it that way.

The classifieds over at OWWM.org may turn up something.

The tool stand might be $25, but the boots are NOT included!

Hmm, drives a hard bargain. I saw that earlier, and might be an option if I can't find a factory stand. Would prefer something a bit heavier though. This thing is a bit tippy.

Thanks. Believe it or not, the only new parts are the upper and lower shaft bearings. Everything else was able to be cleaned up and restored with a combination of Evaporust, sand blasting, wire wheeling, and painting. It was pretty badly rusted to begin with. But I think it will be a nice addition to the shop.

I've posted a WTB on OWWM, just hoping to see if I can located one locally.
