Bought this locally (Langley) from a guy who had owned it only a few years. He was a carpenter but used this in his basement shop. Previous owner was a fireman who lived near by.

Cutterhead guard is missing, but otherwise appears complete. I have not used it yet, but the PO did fire it up for me to show that everything worked. He also threw in an aftermarket mobile base for it.

Seems to have the original splatter paint and the original sheet metal base.

The motor tag is not visible, it's covered up by the inside of the dust chute. I guess if I want to know what size the motor is I'll have to take it out.

I'm looking forward to putting this into service with minimum repair/resto work. It's diminutive size means that it will probably take up less space in my shop than the 6" General International that it will replace.

Edit August 2010: Got this cleaned up, blades sharpened and reinstalled, tables leveled, a dust collection port installed, and moved into my basement shop. All that remains is to get rid of the 6" General International and to make up a cutterhead guard.
