Hi Paul. What an amazing machine, I've never seen one of those before. IMHO a belt sander is an essential tool in any workshop and you should find that alone very useful. Not sure if you intend to use the bandsaw to cut metal but be aware that metal cutting bandsaws run much slower than wood cutting ones. Cheers, Alan.

Beautiful machine, Paul, and all the more so with its handsome gold livery. It's a bit like the Coronet Major in terms of its multifunctionality, though I suspect not as old as the Coronet. While it's always nice to find the complete item, there's also something great about working on and developing a partial machine - a real invitation to creativity! Best of luck with it. gary

Fascinating little machine, I haven't used any Emco machinery but it sounds like they tried to make a number of multipurpose machines. The scroll saw setup looks intriguing as a possible basis for doing die filing, depending on how fast it runs.

Hello Everett, The designers at Emco seem to be very good as many of their classic machines are very old... the build quality does appear to be good and a good endorsement of that is Stefan Gotteswinter using an Emco lathe.

Hello Paul, that’s an interesting EMCO item. I had no idea these multi-purpose machines existed - perhaps they weren’t exported to the States. As others have commented, the band saw blade speed will have to be reduced; Mr. Pete has a number of videos on the subject. Enjoy the new helper!

Wow, what an amazingly versatile machine Paul. I never knew Emco made such a thing, but I expect these were mainly sold in Europe. What's with all the red buckets in the background ? Got a water leak ? I expect the Emco would have/is missing a right hand ways base mount, travelling tailstock and a tool rest. Be nice to get the originals, but should be do-able to make them. Good pick up. Cheers Rob
