Comments:

Found it on Craigslist, bought it from the original owner who just got too old to work anymore. I promised him the old machine would definately work hard for me. And it has. I've had it a few years, it was the first machine I purposely bought for my new business. It got me up and running and really helped. Came with the bandsaw too. I've bought a few additional peices, like a Nova G-3 chuck, an arbor for 5/8 blades, and a live center. I cuss at it, then I praise it. I think a guy just has to learn to handle it's idiosyncrasies. I'll always have that machine.
