This is a machine I bought of Facebook from a man who said it was his dads from original purchase. Just missing front bearing cap. Any one have one? I broke it down to pieces and rebuilt completely, bearings were fine. New knives. All with this machine was good except the original 3450 rpm Craftsman motor was only 1/3 hp. Thought that was undersized so put a 5” pulley on a 1725 rpm 1/2 hp Craftsman I had sitting around. As you can tell by the sawdust it works great. Need to figure out some kind of dust collection, not so easy on this machine. I tried something new for all the badges I drilled and tapped the holes for 6-32 stainless screws. I like the way it worked out. Proud of this one. It turned out good.
