-Does it work? If not, why not?

If the answers are satisfactory, then go ahead.

Oh, one other thing: What size is it? (table travel, spindle travel)
It has some tooling, collets and such.

Looks pretty clean, I still have to go inspect it myself, thats why I asked what should I look for.

Yes it works, and it has a 1 phase VFD as well.

I believe its a 9x32" (42"?), knee is probably 16", and around 3 1/2" of spindle travel.
