yep it's true. thedadfisherman sold it to me for 50 bucks.
3/4 horse 4 speed. it's on 3000 rpm's now. seems to work very well at that speed although i havent tried the other speeds not sure if i need to?
i capesams'd one of my grandfathers old files into a chisle. that seems to work fine. just getting the hang of the thing now even tried an offcenter turn that came out reel nice.
had a good blowout the other night too, so got the first wood explosion out of the way. not as bad as i thought it would hurt.
mostly playing arround with some pine before i go ruining a bunch of honduran mahogany i got kicking arround.and i got a few blocks from slip a while back.
gotta find someplace strong to mount it 'cause the motor assm. flex's when you tighten the blank in there.
just gotta watch the old fingers and i should be fine

it's in front of the exaust fan now. that sux the dust right out but i gotta make some kinda rig for the shop vac so there ain't wood chips all over the bodyshop.
