Comments:

I bought this machine at a swap meet 6 years ago. The motor had been replaced with a 1/2 hp Dayton, and the motor switch had been replaced, but everything else, including the original paint is in very good condition. The spindle travels a full 4", with an indicated .003 runout at the top. Note the quick setting depth stop; pinch a release to move the stop, then turn a nut to get a fine setting. This machine is in regular use in my shop.
