    I can see from the third pic that Brent understands the proper use of a TS w/ extension wing.

    Great choice, even if it is the wrong color.

    Hey Chris, can I ask a couple questions? Are you getting the 2, or 3 hp? What other brands did you look at before you made your decision, and what was the determining factor for your choice of the Robust? Thanks Paul

    Second Picture Set

    Here is the next set prior to shipment. In the first you'll see the spindles the next has the second shows the tilt a way and the spindle installed. Last is the full assembly with that big Leeson 3 HP motor. The outboard assembly and the bowl steady will arrive in July. Just waiting to find out final delivery date now. I know it isn't Mustard or Mayo but I'm excited!

    Chris, I think that's a "gray" issue, kind of like that special topping that's both mustard and mayo. she has some incredible machining!
