Comments:
I Purchased the machine in Ontario Canada 2014 ish its 550 volt three phase, 4 hp.
This machine is the model prior to the ET/E It has a similar roller system for the table, but did not have the bronze cages for the rollers, just a single steel strip on one side of the rollers, i made up a cage out of phenolic.

Comments: The system is very smooth and low friction due to the differential rollers, the guides is adjustable to keep a minimum tolerance for any side movement and also traps the lip to prevent any vertical deviation.

Comments: The fence is good and solid, tilts and swivels. Prone to being damaged probably from being dropped. This one has been broken and repaired.
