Comments:

These detail pictures were taken in a high school shop. See other detail submission for older style model 90 differences. This machine didn't have the motor mounted in the base like later versions did, but the motor does run a jackshaft that runs the VS pulleys. This style starts at a much slower speed than the older style machines and is far more desireable to the woodturner.
