That is an old Bosch belt sander with a sanding frame from the 90s. They make a great product BTW. Now back to the interesting part. My suggest would be to sand it enough to get rid of the grease and junk, locate a shop or business that has a wide belt sander or serious drum sander (its basically the same machine) and have them run it through. Normally for 60-80 bucks. it will save you a whole lot of time. The reason for getting off the junk or oil is that it tends to clog sanding belt and most people dislike running used lumber through their machine. Belts aren't exactly cheap. The whole thing will come out flat with little to finish up with a finer grit sand paper using a small palm, orbital, or vibrating sander. Finish it how ever you like, oil and wax would be very nice but it offer little protection but done well, its beautiful. What will it be used for?
