I found this machine on Craigslist. The seller was a scrapper who would clean out old factories, shops, etc. He said he got this kind of thing a lot and would advertise it on Craigslist. If he got no interest, he would cut the piece up and scrap it. This piece looks to be complete except for the knife gringing attachment, with the original green paint, and a 5hp 3 phase direct drive motor. I am missing the feed drive belt.
