Re: New toy...
Any idea of the year? It sure has that old tool look about it.

Re: New toy...
SWEET!!!!!!!!!! HP? Voltage?? For the home shop. I have passed on some just because either 3PH or 220. One around here a Delta cabinet saw on CL ses it it is 120V, I doubt that. My Delta 1HP with a good Freud thin kerf rip blade still works for me, table is not as big but I dont do many sheet stuff.

Greenie, Grayling, SS stand alone BS and BS SPT, jointer and belt sander, 3 Ers with Speed Changers. I think those 3 cover my ER needs, and space for them.

Re: New toy...
Oh she's a beauty.. 2hp, 110v.. which surprised me.
The lady I bought it from thought it could be 30 years old, but wasn't sure.
I love old tools like this, it was well cared for by a departed craftsman.. I'm happy and honored to put this in my shop, and incorporate it into my woodworking.

Re: New toy...
I don't do much sheet stuff either... in fact I mostly turn pens, but I just couldn't pass it up.

Re: New toy...
For sure.. I'm just glad it didn't go to scrap or worse.
and now that I have the proper saw, I can forsee a sheet goods project in my near future.
