    Thanks for all the comments.
    Eric, its an older discontinued Dayton 3 in 1 sander. https://www.grainger.com/product/DAY...g-Center-2XTF8
    Its a monster of a beast and must weigh in at over a hundred pounds. I use it mainly for metal work but the 12 inch disk works great at making circles with a quick jig. I usually go for the Ridgid oscillating belt/drum sander honestly. I picked it up for a couple of hundred dollars on Craigslist.
    Marshall, that is one of the workbenches I've built in the last 5 months. Its the most versatile as it is an assembly table and I can set it up outside on saw horses or shop stools and it is an outfeed table for my tablesaw.
    Here is the dedicated bench I built in December https://sawmillcreek.org/showthread....nch&highlight=
    The tool cabinets are most recent and is me trying to make the most of a small shop, 14 ' by 20', so not much tool storage space until now.
    The builds are all kind of fly by the seat of my pants based on online pics. One of the sanding cabinets is built around an old metal rolling table. I don't like open storage cabinets or open shelves because of the dust. I've started building closed cabinets and gotten rid of my shelves.
    Casters were 4 inch ones from HF.
    Thanks for the comments and for looking.

    Updated Drill press cabinet with new table.

    and the new bandsaw table with the fence mounted on a miter gauge… this allows me to adjust for drift while resawing.

    I like it and need to build one for my DP. May I ask where you got the plans?

    Thanks Rob,
    I just looked at many pics and vids on google and came up with my own plan.
    Here are a couple of links to get you started but do a google search and choose "images" for your results and there will be many different ones.
