Comments:

last April this overhead router popped up on c’list
Loading was straight forward, as the seller had a forklift. he. did not know too much about it. The owner of the shop had inherited a bunch of tools from his dad in Arizona, which this was one of. They did not use it much so they were selling it.
The motor has no plate. It is three phase. Beyond that I have no info on it. It looks like it has a blower on top of it. Maybe to keep the belt cool?
upon firing it up the spindle seems to be bent. after turning it off the oil coolant leaked out. And i have broken 2 wrenches trying to get the spindle collet off.
stay tuned...
