It'll outlast me easily!

They are very rare outside of Europe, but they're absolutely amazing!

@@rauschguitars oh of course, especially in my country, let alone antique tools like this, even for modern equipment, unfortunately in my country, many Indonesians are hard to find, even though the price will be very expensive, it can be 3 or 4 times the price in Europe ..

It's one of my favourite tools for sure!

It looks like copper or brass to me.

Can't remember exactly, but I think it's around 20kg.

The red knob is a grease dispenser that lubricates the shaft inside. I've seen them for sale before, but I can't remember what the part is called.

@@rauschguitars thanks for answer! :)

I can't imagine many parts floating around. You'll probably have better luck finding a complete machine, depending on your location.

Thank you. I'm fairly resigned to that. I haven't managed to figure out what the spec of it would be. The spindle is a 1.25 metric reverse thread 17mm ish diameter.
