Current Status
Usable
Machine has some issues but is usable.
Alex Wixted: Machine is functioning and in good condition. Power supply to the undersized, 95 year old motor is still an issue - awaiting for electrical works to see if this improves hammer responsiveness.
Needs a new belt, and both belt guarding and foot control pedal built.
Usage
This machine requires induction and supervision to use.
