Oops, I for got to ask you when did you bought the 1.5hp on Ebay, I was lurking
on and off for a long time waiting to bid for one. I also forgot to add the drum
sander is brand NEW.

As far as cost, pretty minimal. I built it out of 2x4, except for the
support for the pillow block bearings, which I used Ash. Bought the
bearings on ebay for under $20.

Also bought the motor on ebay. 1.5 HP, single phase, for $50 plus 15
for shipping!

The table I already had from another product. 2" thick, with a
laminate. Maybe spend another $10 on hardware for the lift mechanism,
already had the piano hinge... The belt and pulleys were perhaps
another $20 from an online place... So maybe I'm into this $125 with
motor??

It'll be interesting to see how well it works.
