I used my 40's last week while cutting to length some parts 26.625" long. Will use them again this week on other parts.

That is a cool motor. Probably weights 200 pounds and produces 2HP.

Heres some I up loaded to SnapFish and had made into 11 X 14 posters and hung on my shop walls. They said that there weren't good enough for that but they came out fine.
