I believe that's a China made product. I don't think the Walker Turner name survived into the 70's. The empty building still stands in Plainfield, NJ. Passed it the other day. -J

Update....KTF stands for (King Tun Fu), made in Taiwan. Hope that helps. -J

cbrmadman,

Your machine looks a lot like my Enco, purchased sometime in the late 70's. There should be a spindle speed chart inside the belt cover. Otherwise, you can go to the Enco folder in Downloads and download the only file there for some probably applicable operating instructions. No spindle speed chart in it, though. And the cutting speed chart that is in it has something wrong. The spindle speeds for what are supposed to be equivalent French and English surface speed figures are all different. I haven't run the numbers to see which is correct.

Note that the file shows two different belt covers and three tables, one of each of which match yours.
