Comments:

Recently purchased with 3 other machines from elderly cabinet maker. All bare surfaces were rusty (from storage in unheated shed for ?10 years). Scraped surfaces using raser blades. Functionally cleaned up. However not pretty yet. Previous owner had up 2hp motor, so should be lots of power.
