Well "US Industrial Tools" sounds like the kind of bogus

You already have a pretty good idea what it looks like. Try
going to Harbor Freight or Grizzly, look for something with about the
same specs (measure the distance from the center of the spindle to the
column and double that for the "size", check for numbers of speeds
(presaumably one or two belts, with a corresponding two or three pulleys,
and then download the manual for the closest match. Mine, from Taiwan
from about 1976/1977 still looks much like the current ones, other than
fancy plastic trim over the switches and things like that, which really
don't matter.
This will get you most of what you need, at least.
Good Luck,
DoN.

You are correct on the import. It was manufactured in Taiwan. I will
compare it to the ones Harbor Freight has and go from there. Thanks very
much Don for the response.
