Got this from a fellow OWWM'er in a trade deal with no stand. Found a stand, put a 1/2 HP 3450 TEFC motor on over rubber commercial air conditioner mounts. Mounted an A-B mag starter with remote, made a plastic dust chute, put an upright stud on the guard for safety in moving the guard out of the way. Both the driven and drive pulleys were turned slightly on a metal lathe. The cast iron motor pulley was balanced. This is one smooooooth running little jointer. Goes to my youngest son who's living in an apartment right now.

Comments: Operator's end showing mag starter. The little guard pin can be seen. Its a shoulder bolt and is handy for flipping the guard out of the way when straightening boards.

Comments: Shows no belt guard. This may be added in the future since my son has two playful cats. The stand is the older welded type that came off a tilt table 8 in. saw that needed trunnions.
