slots in the machined center section for attaching work holding devices.

fan cooled) motor to be sure you have plenty
of power for the tough jobs. The motor, rated
using a continuous duty cycle rather than the
“peak” or “max developed” formulas, is the

pre-wired for 115V power but can be
converted to use 230V.
