Excellent value shouldn't wear it out with home use, I think you should bolt it down that tape won't hold it.Been looking for Fobco, Meddings, Startrite etc - but the seller prices have wisend up - way up!
Someones looked after this up until recently, the paint is great and just some surface oxide, cleaned up a bit, the chuck has come up fine, just wire wheeling the bare base and may do the table, but I doubt it It is a solid bit of kit and all working - even the guard isn't broken, won't be long till I break that...
Picked it up locally from an engineering place in Olney, really nice people.
I'm well chuffed with it. Especially for just under £50
