So where are you located anyhow? I've never seen one that looks like that, with the Y-axis screw off-center like that. What brand is it?

I am located in Sacramento Ca. The machine is deceiving, the spec sheet said it came with a 1hp or 2hp motor, actually what is has is 1/2hp and it uses r8 tooling. Table is 44" x 10" table with 22" of travel. Machine was made by Balding Engineering in England and is their small "training or light duty machine" named a PAL. Big brother was the Beaver VBRP.
