- a plurality of shafts having proximal and distal ends, said shafts bearing thereon shaft pulleys, said shaft pulleys having diameters in the ratio of approximately 2:21/2:3:4 respectively, one said shaft bearing a motor belt driven pulley means for driving said shaft by said motor belt means, said motor pulley and said motor belt driven pulley means having diameters in the ratio of approximately 11/2 to 5;
- brass drum preliminary sander means attached to said distal end of and driven by a first said shaft;
- finishing brass drum sander means attached to said distal end of and driven by a second said shaft;
- rubber disc sander means attached to said distal end of and driven by a third said shaft;
- aluminum disc sander means attached to said distal end of and driven by a fourth said shaft;
