A Craigslist find from about 2004 or 2005. Took it home for $40. The machine is missing the blade guard and mounting hardware, but is otherwise complete. If you own one of these machines and can provide a template of the original blade guard I would appreciate it. I would like to make a copy to use. The machine is mounted to a very heavy duty shop made stand. It's in good operating condition and runs very smoothly and quietly after mounting a new v-belt. Even the cutter blades are sharp. The motor is 1/2 horsepower Craftsman and appears original. The color is not original, but some of the original paint remains on the hand wheels. When I got the machine home, I found that the outfeed table was jammed. I cleaned the table ways with a brass brush and the shop vac, and applied light machine oil to the ways. That was enough to get the table moving smoothly again. It's a pleasure to use and the results are accurate and flat edges and board faces. Still working on learning the full functionality of the rack and pinion fence.
