"electronic sander" on Fazioli site.....

[Mark Schecter]

I recall that machine being able to flatten a piece to something like 
.010". I think that's higher precision than most wide belt sanders, but 
otherwise it's just like you can buy from any major machine supplier. I 
think it was made in Italy.

They also have an incredible, huge orbital buffing machine, with three 
big buffs on a carriage which revolves, while the whole thing moves 
linearly over the length of the piece, such as a lid. The size was 
eye-opening.
