    Reciprocating Saw attachment

    As an owner of a Craftsman 12" (identical), this is a beautiful example of a well maintained vintage lathe. If he was closer I'd consider it, especially with everything being offered in the price, but mainly because of it's METICULOUSLY looking condition - WOW!
