Well done mailee. It looks like a good buy.
Except for one or two bits it very much looks like the Axminster CT1502 http://www.axminster.co.uk/recno/4/prod ... 370404.htm
The knife guard is the type that they use in the USA.
Let us know how you get on.
Cheers

Yes well done you lucky so-and-so, excellent price! Saw this myself and was tempted to bid but for the 200 mile drive to get it! I bought my Axminster CT150 on Ebay last year and paid well over £200. I agree with Mike, the two machines do certainly appear to have more than a little common ancestry.
I'd be interested to know, when you've had a chance to play with it, what the mechanism is for knife adjustment - it's the only issue I have with mine, it being a notoriously hit and miss affair relying on springs under the knives pushing them up against a setting guage. Often when the pinchbolts are tightened the knife moves fractionally no matter how hard I press down on the setting guage. Here's hoping you don't have the same problem.
Well done again, I hope it serves you well.

Yep I was pretty pleased with myself winning this. I thought it would go for a lot more too! I shall pick it up next Saturday so will let you know what it is like. I too suspect it will have those small springs under the blades MarkW.

Mailee this OZ Rockwell is spot on and it even has the adjustment handle on the end of the fence. If the instruction manual you receive is the normal British rubbish, i would contact General International, Rockwell or even get one from this guy, because they are usually much better than ours.
