So I found a slick deal on a barely used Oneway 2436 for $1,000.
My question before I see it is what should I look for or test out? Should I put a piece of wood in it and test it at a few speeds? Check the belt? Are there any problem areas that are difficult to fix if there's rust damage?
The owner says it's in perfect operating condition, barely used, like new, only it was stored with a tarp on top of it outside so there's surface rust on the rails.
If the rails are badly corroded should I pass on the deal or would it be worth it to have a machinist do some repairs on it, or remove the rust myself and get some help repairing damage if there's any pits, etc.
I know nothing about what's supposed to come with this, and only this picture to go by. I'm also not a wood turner, but my associate is, and he'd really like to use this if I get it and he'll teach me how to use it.
