The job was done as a freebie for Salvation Army who was decorating a hall for a kids club.
The spindle is a GMC 2400 w hand held router with the handles surgically removed. At $150 bucks I treat it as a consumable. I have replaced it once, as the main bearing seized.
It probably did 400 hours work. The thing that killed it was it had a high duty cycle, meaning it would run 8 hours with very short breaks.
Would you settle for overweight chap from Melbourne then ?
The whole machine cost about $3500 to build.
EDIT the frame is 2M wide and not 4 as it shows.
