History:
Bought this in the summer of 2011 at the Harbor Freight store in Sarasota, Florida. Assembly was a bit challenging, but it runs smoothly, and as several other woodworkers have indicated, it's one of those special Harbor Freight deals that's actually worth much more than the price. The only quibble I have with it is that it will not run slowly enough to do larger pieces. The slowest it can go is 600 rpm.
