    Debating whether to make the drive to check out an older Taiwan -made Jet BD-1336-T .
    Same owner since new, light use (looks clean in the pics), owner moving/downsizing his shop.

    Likely 80's, but can't find anything online about this particular model. Good size/short spindle bore at 1-17/32" .
    I wouldn't consider one of the newer Chinese ones, but my experience with most 80's Taiwan stuff is good (I've got an old green drill press that's solid as a rock).

    Worth looking at?
