Powermatic Edge Sander

Any one else having trouble with a Powermatic OES9138 edge sander. The motor on ours burnt out not long after the warranty was up, 3-4 years ago. Local shop rewond the motor. Seems to have gone again. I'm thinking about buying a different machine rather than having this one fixed again.

Check out a Vega Oscillating Edge Sander. AMAZING for the money. 137" belt, graphite covered I-beam construction, multiple table options, baldor oscillating gear motor and Marathon main drive motor.
