Even a knackered machine can do good work if the spindle is still good.
What’s the overall length of the machine?
I could put it on my Rockford planer and get it close enough to be pretty good with two coats of scraping, actually straight off the planer it’s going to be better than 99% of machines out there.
Be free as well
What an enormously generous offer.
I think the spindle is ok, definitely need to investigate the machine more. It has a very unusual "dry" headstock arrangement.
It's a nice machine with some unusual features so if I can sort it out for not too much I would be delighted to. There's a limit though, it's certainly not a toolroom grade machine, the "micrometer" dials only have a resolution of 0.10mm
It's about 1.9m overall. With the gear guard removed the bed is probably around 1.75m
