Comments:

I picked this machine up at a garage/estate sale. Prior to this I had never heard of Bench Boss. I do not know if the machine is operational, all it has currently are the lathe components. The motor turns well but most of the other bearings are stiff. The mahine needs a good cleaning. It was apparently still operational a year or two ago. The wiring seems to be non-standard and certainly not safe as wires are not properly terminated at the plug or at the motor.
