In 1976 I bought a Craftsman 1/2 HP in-line sander from Sears for $50. It used sandpaper that was around 4 inches wide and 6 inches long. The paper wrapped up and over the front edge of the sander's pad and also along the back edge, and a clamp at each end held the paper in place. A lever would change the pad's action from in-line to an orbital path. I can't remember how many walls and 2x6's I sanded with it but it was a lot.
After 40 years of home-owner use my sander went belly-up. I looked for a replacement but couldn't find one so I bought a pad sander to replace it. That was in 2016. The pad sander just isn't working out well. Where can I find a replacement inline sander?
