Comments:

Bought from a machinist near Bloomington IL. He had used it to machine aluminum parts. Bearings need to be replaced, collet holder re-ground, and new belt. Also has a much newer 3hp 3ph motor. Very solid machine.

Note that the proper belt on this is a very thin belt, akin to a couple of pieces of duct tape stuck face to face. This had a roughly 1/8" thick rubber belt when I got it, and replaced it with the same, but that belt would not track.
