Honestly I think that might just get stored up in the loft. It was the first tool I bought when I got into woodworking on my own, and while not fancy, it still does a fine job. It's only your basic Delta 10" CMS , but I'm a bit sentimental about it just the same.

The benchtop DP is absolutely going on to greener pastures. My eldest son is taking some turning lessons, I'm thinking that the Midi lathe, and benchtop DP are heading over to his house.

And that's just what happened... of course, now I'm living back in NY... and the 510 is still down in VA.
