Stubbed My Toe On This - BaileyNo5 - 05-02-2017 .....while hunting for an adze in a big pile of junk.  It didn't budge, so I thought I might have had a run-in with an anvil.  As I silently cursed this heavy offender, I slid a few rusty items out of the way and discovered this.   Even a blind hog finds an acorn every now and then. Would have preferred a low speed one, but I'm not going to complain.  First one I've come across in the wild.  Paid sixty bucks.  Not gloatable but I'm happy to have it.  It runs so smooth and quiet you hardly know it's on. RE: Stubbed My Toe On This - EvilTwin - 05-03-2017 I would take exception to the not gloatable part, if you knew what the cost new...   Great score.  Probably want to put some new wheels on it.

That's a "real" one RE: Stubbed My Toe On This - Arlin Eastman - 05-07-2017 I would like something like that but with longer shafts for a buffer so we can buff our turnings easier.  Nice find to. RE: Stubbed My Toe On This - BaileyNo5 - 05-07-2017 I had no idea these things were that expensive, EvilTwin and guyk.  I thought they were a couple hundred bucks.  Of course this is a used one, so it wouldn't bring full price.  I'm slowly shining it up a little, and will eventually put a new coat of green paint on it.  7" wheels aren't a common item in my shop, so I'll have to spring for a couple of those.  I looked at the Baldor eye guards, I think they want a hundred bucks for a pair in their catalog, so I'll be looking elsewhere for those.  And of course I need a pedestal stand.....I'll keep my eye on craigslist and kijiji.
