    New addition to the shop for building, fixing, and modifying

    Just finished cleaning up and rebuilding... Just something else, I need to learn how to use. It's almost to clean to get dirty!

    Later,

        Nice machine, it looks as good as new! Its been a long time since i have used one the them. They were the original universal mill/lathe out there. You can get a circular saw attachment and i think even a surface grinding attachment to! Watch running the motor for more than 10-15 minutes at a time. They get hot and can burn out if used to long. Very cool machine, hang onto it as they are collectors items and already go for 4+ times what they did just a few years ago, you probably already know this but wanted to mention just in case. Theres not much model boat wise you won't be able to do now,have fun!

            Fella,

            Your right, this unit had several "attachments"

            Table Saw
            Jig/Fret Saw
            Thread following/cutting attachment w/metric and English dies
            Buffing Arbor
            Hard Stone Grinding

            There might be more... I can tell you I have most if not all they offered for this machine. I bought it all in a package deal (deal of a life time!).

            Later,

                  Well, if it starts collecting dust I can make a drive down and take it off your hands, lol... As the commercial says, "Have Fun with That".

                      Nice score, I have an older machine like that. Not much in the way of attachments though. Good to have when needed for sure.
