Keller F256B deluxe die filer (after cleanup)
Hi folks
I just got done spending a few hrs. cleaning this wonderful machine, it was in very good working condition & I haven't needed to spend an additional cent on it, although the original drive belt seems to have a permanent curve in it where it was stored for so long around the small pulley & that makes the motor bounce more than it probably should. from my research by David J. Young, this is the top-of-the-line deluxe model, with an addition hold down arm purchased separately as well. I don't have any idea of how old it is & there is very little information on these Keller die Filers, but I'm guessing early 70's. it runs very well, & cleaned up nicely with most of the original paint still intact.
