A beautiful machine made by Poitras , a Canadian company. Poitras was purchased by General Canada about 17 years ago. This is a well built machine , all contstruction in cast iron. This machine is powered by a replaced 5HP motor. Standard machine is powered by either 1 or 2 HP motor. This machine was so popular, General decided to continue production under their own brand General 2800B.

I purchased this machine from a retiring woodworker about 3 weeks ago. It is in my shop with some of my other machines which are for sale but not this one.
