I scored a like new Powermatic 701 hollow chisel morticer today. Needs a little clean up on the cast iron table, slight surface rust, but I'll clean it up with some 600 grit sandpaper and some wd40 and then wax it and it'll be good as new.
I have wanted this machine for years, never seen one used for sale around here. It came up on Craigslist today and I immediately contacted the seller and went and bought it.
Tool holder for the tools and a diamond sharpening cone for the chisels
Owners manual and 4 pm chisels made in Japan, not cheap for those.
Looks like it was made in 2010. 1725 rpm is desirable in a morticer so you don't burn up your chisels.
These sell for around $700 new today, but I don't know if that includes the chisels or not. I picked it up for $450, not a steal but a fair price imo. It is in excellent condition and like new. Most morticers spend most of their time sitting in a shop, this one did. Now I need to get a stand on wheels for it. I'm super happy with this purchase.
