Good morning…. Any chance in your “clear out” that you might have any machine levelling feet? Just a shot in the dark. Thanks. Derek

Hey everyone! Just a follow up. I ordered these 4 books on eBay. 3 of the 4 are really useful, the 4th will be listed in the coming days, lol. So….. what have I learned so far? 1. Machine is Level and on Concrete 2. A good wheel with a nice “ring” is on the hub securely and not too...

The original motor was balanced so I bought a balanced motor to replace it. It was just shy of $700 but I thought worth it. However the motor shop laughed at be because the connection from the motor to the spindle is a rubber “lovejoy” connection. We’ll see how things shape up over the next...
