    Our Write Up:
    This edge sander is one of Rodgers 74" platen models.
    Although it is "commonish" to find Rodgers' Edge Sanders, nearly all are
    the standard size of 8" x 50", AKA: a 48" edge sander. This sander is one of
    their far less common 8" x 74" platen versions, making it a 72" edge sander.
    If you have been wanting a 6 foot edge sander..... you know they are
    astronomically priced. A 74" cast iron platen is extremely costly to produce
    and then selling them is probably even harder. If you go looking, you will find
    they don't even offer these as a Taiwanese Knock-Off.  Not many shops
    actually need a 6' platen. But if you do..... they are indispensable.
    In our own wood products manufacturing business, our most
    popular product has several 60" lengths and our largest product
    has several 72" lengths.  Having this long platen made a huge
    difference in both quality and time. If your needs are in this realm
    of these lengths..... this is your machine. It took us years to find
    one priced right and now that we are no longer operating our
    wood business, this sander is offered here.
