Bought this machine in functional but sad shape. I did a complete strip down, repaint, new bears, new custom-made helical cutterhead, made a pair of knobs for fence adjustment and replaced the motor with a 2hp Rockwell tablesaw motor. Also found a guy to make a logo decal for the machine's base. I use this machine in my shop daily, runs and cuts like a dream.
