Re: First time purchaser

Thank you Steve, I’m very appreciative of everyone’s input so far. The wealth of knowledge everyone has provided is so refreshing. I think unless I can get this unit for a much cheaper price, I should probably look into something a little more “ready to go” than this one. I’ve pretty much sold mysel...

Re: First time purchaser

I was able to get a few additional pictures, so hopefully this gives a more full idea of what I'm looking at. I really appreciate the guidance here everyone.

Re: First time purchaser

I’m glad you mentioned that. I went through our conversation and the seller did state that there’s a new spindle included, as something in the original was bent. It just needs to be installed.

I appreciate the advice and I’ll absolutely keep that in mind!

First time purchaser

IMG_3390.jpeg Hey all, I made a comment on another thread but I may have done it wrong. I’m new to the forum and woodworking period.

Re: Serial number lookup

Hey all, I’ve been scouring for weeks trying to learn more about these products before I dive into purchasing. I’ve come across a 10er which seems to fit my exact needs, assuming she’s still in good running condition. I’ll be going in person to inspect it more, but everything sent so far, plus a “ne...
