I not sure but this machine I just bought from a retired gentleman whos father was an aviation machinist and he remembers his dad helping him with a science fair project when he was 14 using this press... I think it was originally a table top model and it seems from pic it has been modified with an extra pulley gear.. it also has been setup with forward and reverse on the fly with the flip of a lever.... it is fantastic! the guy sold it to me for 60$ but it was so nice and meant so much to him I gave him more...
