Purchased this DP at an estate auction in Stafford County, VA around 1995. The estate belonged to a man who made his living putting new handles in things like hammers, axes, shovels, etc.. There were about 6 or 8 out buildings plus and old mobile home on the property (as well as the main house) and each one was stuffed full of woodworking machinery(and about a million handles). Don't remember what I paid for this DP, but it wasn't much. I've have never had to do anything to it except build an auxillary table for woodworking and rig a light and counterweight. I'll make a belt guard for it as soon as OSHA makes me. It has been rock solid for me. I put it up because there aren't any others on the OWWM site like it. The 566 in the model number appears to be scratched in by hand so I'm not so sure about the authenticity there but the 3Z is factory.
