I bought this from a fellow in Santa Maria, California. When I got this machine it needed a total rebiuld. It had cut so much wood that the chips had worn the cutterhead to a slight hourglass shape. The infeed table had been used as an anvil and had hundreds of dings in it. Along with a strip and repaint, I had the tables and fence blanchard ground, made a new cutterhead shaft, cutter clamp bars and dust collection attachment. The rotating parts were rebalanced.I had to sell this one when I bought my 8" jointer. It was hard to let it go.
