I'm popping in for tool recommendations on another thread and I figured I ought to share the latest OWWM project.
This one is a 1967 Powermatic 1150. It's allllllllmost done--I just need to mount the VFD and hook up some external switches. This one was an adventure. I got it home and found out that someone broke the main head casting several years ago and tried to hold it together with braided wire. Several pieces of the original casting were missing and, needless to say, it was irreparable. Luckily, I found a donor head casting in Utah (it cost as much as the entire machine) and it's up and running again.
