Thanks to Charles Miller from The Oakley Co. for the information on this machine. It was ordered without the oscillating mechanism, with out tables, and with oversized drive wheel and idler wheel. The belt length is 206". We fabricated a quick table setup and dust hood. At some point on the future these will be replaced with something better and more functional. This machine was purchased from a shop owner near me who stated that someone who had been renting space in his shop left it behind and told him he didn't want it. So the shop owner listed it ridiculously cheap to get rid of it. He had no idea if it worked, if the motor ran, etc. I took a chance and got a great machine. I ordered a friction pad and adjuster from Oakely, installed a new motor started, and fired it up. Machine runs great. Couldn't be happier.
