Run to get it...

You got to be kiddin' me. There's a Porter Cable router in there also. I think it must be a typo and the price is really $600.00 not $60.00

So I bought it for 50.....they sure don't build them like they used to. This thing is a beast....easily weighs 250 lbs.

I have not seen one of these before. I would appreciate if you can post more pictures of how this works once you get this up and running in the workshop.

Great find, great deal. :thumbsup:

sweet and for only $50.00

The router alone is worth $150.00 :yes:

What brand is it?

You will love that thing for mortising, especially if you make mission style furniture. I want one. :yes: Oh Yah, that why I made one out of a radial arm saw. Get it set up and show us how it works... when you not at the office. :laughing:

It's OK but not great. It took a lot of tuning to get it to work for mortising. Perfect alignment is a real female dog.

The guy that I bought it from, had a big steel block bored at a machine shop where a 1/2 and 1/4 rod slides into the collet to square it up....so setting it up is pretty easy......the sliding dovetail which the table rides on could use a cleaning and lubrication....as could the rails that the router ride on.

I'm not sure what i'll use it for......but theres gotta be some good use for it.

So the more I'm looking at this....the more I don't know where I'm going to put it. I need a bigger shop.....I think I'll clean it up and put it back online.

It's a good solid built tool....just guess I need more room first.
