I have used a Phillipson oscillating bobbin sander and it was an excellent machine.I expect that your sander will be equally good.My memory is telling me that the company founder was a patternmaker who was finding it hard to get hold of good machines and who then deduced that there would be other people in the same position.Consequently he had some machines made and the business followed.

It looks like your extraction could use a boost judging from the dust on the machine.

Wadkin does make the sanders now in Nottingham and have been making some of the classic machines for a while Now. I have always wanted the bottom scroll sanders.

Andy these sanders are Pattern makers class and far exceed woodworking tool standers. Some and me included say there the best in the world for pattern making. I do believe that is why Wadkin has set out to remake this top of the line group of sanders.

the bottom scroll sander CBS1 is to die for
