Hello, This is a good deal, especially when you see the rotary table. With legacy not making the classic machine any more, I imagine the rotary tables will no longer be available. To my mind, that makes this rotary table and the router the break even point, or nearly so. I bet you could buy the table, keep it, and part everything else out and make a little money. Much depends on the condition of the PC router.
