I hope "grinding dust" is a figure of speech! As for sandblasting the headstock, I would go the citrusstrip route. I would only remove flash from the seam.*sprue?" As for bearings, VXB is a decent source(not the best re the quill). Quit using a phone for a camera or ALWAYS take pix in...

I suggest thee stop chasing thy tail be comparing edges of different boards.

You need a known straight reference(straight edge or table surface) to critique each board edge.

It didn’t sell last year when they asked $1900 for it - strange approach to pricing for sure…

Never did and still do not understand what that thing did or how it is supposed to perform useful function(s).

Curious what and with what you would have checked the run/start windings and what values you expected to observe?

Jointer @ 3500 rpm ? ? ?

A proper sized roll pin would be available from a local hardware store. If only SS would provide standard hardware descriptions like they did a half century ago.

If you have replaced them with newer carbide tipped blades, a wall decoration function comes to mind.

Center dial indicators??? If you have a SS wobble blade, send it to a museum.

My GUESS is that it will work.

Almost is the key. That makes me think 'typical'.

Pie wedges? No. But pie wedged spaces in between.

That is where "stuff" will go.
