Comments:

The last commercial use of this machine was in the construction of the Washington, DC subway. I got it from a doctor who got it from the DC gov. He didn't have the ability to refurb it so I got it from him for $600.00. It has ball bearings and a round 4 knife cutter head (5000 rpm) 5 hp. 3 phase motor with static converter and remote mag switch.
