I acquired this at a auction in Northville,N.Y. late Sept.2006 for the total sum of $660.00.It has 1 1/8"spindle with 8" under the nut,foward and reverse by the push of a foot pedal,5 h.p.,220/440 volts,3 phase,foot pedal brake and mirco adjustment for the spindle height.The machine is belted with three v belts.The table is 44" x 42" with built in on/off switches on the front edge.The shaper is in very good condition and is of very heavy duty construction.This was the only OWWM except for a 1970's Martin T17 tablesaw which I also bought.I will be keeping the Yates shaper for my shop.
