Ignore all the kitty litter... the trays had a ton of oil in there. I don't plan on doing anything that requires incredible precision, and yea a bit oversized... but after messing with this it just felt so smooth.
I still need to do a lot of cleaning. Looks like it has an Aloris toolpost, with tool holders on a custom holder they made. I have no history on the machine as it came from an industrial surplus supply. The gears have no chips, and everything turns smoothly.
The biggest issue I will have is replacing the motor. I have a bunch of replacements I picked up for cheap and I plan on building a Rotary phase converter. The current motor on the case has it listed as 550v only, which is Canadian voltage I believe. I'll have to open the motor area up to be 100% what's actually in there now.
