Depends on what's wrong with the table.

If it's just the lead screw/nut stripped or worn out, that's an easy fix.

If the ways are worn beyond the travel of the gibbs, that can be fixed. Not cheap, but if you are not trying to hold close tolerance some shim stock will make it better than it is.

If the table is broken, broken beyond use, deal killer.

They might just be talking about the power feed. Probably a Servo, easy fix.

Look at the table in general. If it's worn and gouged, drilled and abused, good chance it was used in production. But if it is still in good condition, the ways still have the marks visible, it was probably in a tool room, saw an easy life.

The Newel readout is a big plus.

Be ready to spend some money on tooling and a vise though.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: JB Weld - by Staff. JB Weld is basically an epoxy glue that does an exceptionally good job of bonding to cast iron and steel along with several other materials. As I mentioned, it is so common that I have yet to buy a tractor that did not have JB Weld used somewhere. It is sometimes used so well you can't tell its there and other times used as a sloppy quick fix. Finding where and how it can be used correctly is key to whether you are using it as an "inelegant hack" or an integral solution to difficult and expens ... [Read Article]
