The boss bought this and several other metal working machines at an auction for a building being torn down in downtown Burbank, CA. Was not used in our shop and boss said I could take it home. Sent the quill and spindle to Wells-Index (machine is 'Index') to have the B&S #9 spindle reground to hold R8. B&S #9 can also still be held.
