The sander is a 5 inch air bag----12 inch buffing wheels are from Caswell.
Motor is 3/4 hp and 1725 rpm.
It aint fancy but it sure gets the job done.:D

Lookin' good, Gary! I like to make my own stuff, also. It's more fun when it works, ain't it?? Good going!

Looks good from here Gary. Can not tell for sure from picture, but appears that you have sized the pulleys to slow it down a bit, which IMO is a good deal.

Richard---good eyes---yup with the 12 inch wheels I figured it would be best to slow her down some.
