Hi .RC,
Nice clean box joints, Every woodworker should have a mill with DRO, of course, now it needs a nice coat of shellac and maybe a wax polish...
Hi Phil, he also has some nice DTI's to go with that Etalon mag base. I better start saving..
Regards

well I can finally post a gloat. I got a 6x4 bandsaw sans blade & motor for $50. The blade was sourced from AA saws on port road, bimetal blade $38 inc post. The motor I had several that had been scavenged from washing machies so no cost
Overall a happy little camper

Nice, did the guy close up a shop, or was it just his personal life long stash?
