This was my machine until recently. I acquired it from the estate of a machinist who worked in the shipbuilding industry on Georgian Bay. These pictures were taken in 2015 as I was about to remove the machine from his shop.

Originally designed for lineshaft power, it was in good running order and later outfitted so as to be powered by a 2 HP single phase electric motor with countershaft assembly as shown in the photos. The machine was well-tooled and had the factory rotary table vise. The new owner plans to do a refurb and hopefully will post the "after" pics here once that occurs.
