call me old school but I like the older tools when it comes to certain tools…picked this guy up tonight from a retiring wood worker that had it from brand new and took care of it. he upgraded the drive belt to a power twist link belt and seems to make it run a lot quieter than stock. I realize the reeves pulley system is not the best but it also has a lot to do with the user.
for now and for what I might do this will do just fine.
Nice find dude, I see your mag strip in the background too.

Nice score Comp! Wish I knew as many people getting rid of things as you do. Great addition to your ever growing shop.
Very cool. My neighbor is HUGE into turning wood. He has like 3 lathes in his garage and makes some really cool stuff, mostly bowls. He offered to teach me a little, I need to take advantage of that.
Nice Comp! I’m taking a pretty long class that’s going to teach me bowl and plate turning and I’ve been buying tools all along. Very addictive!
Nice new tools are always fun
You been on a roll picking up all sorts of good stuff, I wish I had the room for goodies like this……Pens for everyone LOL!
Comp you have been on the tool hunt recently. Nice scores.
ya pretty much have a list as I was organizing my shop, Since I decided to make the basement my shop I now can plan for a full all round shop. seeings I’m not building a $30,000 garage just for my shop I not only don’t have to spend that but for winter months the basement is already heated has a private entrance and is pretty sound proof.

You can fit a table saw in your basement workshop? That seems to the the problem with most basement workshops is the space. That’s why I kind of want a Track Saw, but they are so darn expensive. Well the problem is I really want a TS55req
Man comp ur building the ultimate shop with all these new cool tools!!
ya I have a 10x10ish foot area for it and a ground level private entrance so bringing in sheets is not to big of a deal. my shop is big it is just broke up in a U shape.
the only restriction I have is to remember to never build anything larger than 32″ square or I can’t get it out the door. when I build a poker table 8 or even 9 foot long I’m ok because the base or legs are taken off an are never taller than 30″ sure I’m limited but I don’t plan on building much large stuff and if I do I will make it so it can be assembled later……
