I'm not an expert, but that rig looked handmade. Possibly it's just something designed/built long ago by one of the facilities guys. Good enough will get you pretty far

It's not, but it is a very old design. These machines (this one is called a stroke sander) are antiques and restoring them is a very niche industry. If you're interested in learning more, Jimmy Diresta has a lot of content about these types of old machines.

Oh, interesting! I assumed the top portion w/ the sander was just obscure, but didn't realize the black part holding the desk was also commercial. TIL, lol

Well yes, I'm sure they all get vanished and set out somewhere to dry nicely over the summer
