it's hard to beat the older woodworking machines for durability. my Delta lathe is from the 30's, was used in a commercial shop for most of it's life, sat for 20 years, and when I got it, it still worked just fine. I just oiled her up, and weehoo...wood and chisels flying everywhere.
hey i wasn't trying to be insulting. I think your an awesome guy and told all of my friends i wish i had a grandfather like you. please people remove the thumbs down from my comment.
the old stuff is always made better last longer than today's overpriced plastic junk from china

It's really too bad they don't make things like that anymore. I hate how they build everything to be disposable now.
