Very nice but teetering on too big for barrel work. Would be nice to use for secondary operations

 

[Pawnee Bill]

Nice, solid machines- Taiwan-built.
As mentioned, if you want to work thru-headstock check the spindle length. Between centers length is 40" on that model, so plenty of bed for working between centers if you chamber that way.

Moot point, listing is down so it must've sold.

Mine was made in 1943 and still cranking out perfect chambers.
