It is current apart awaiting paint and then reassembly.
Not long into the teardown process I realized this is basically a
Rockwell 21-100 with a different belt drive and motor placement.
Everything - base, column, table, handwheels etc is the same as a
Rockwell. The difference is in the mounting of the motor and the
pulleys. The Rockwell has everything on the front over the spindle,
where this Centex has the motor at the back of the machine, and a long
belt running to the spindle pulley.

I know of at least 2 others in the DFW area that are identical. Does
anyone have any knowledge of this machine or the company that made
it? I would really love to find some old paper on it - catalog, sell
sheets, ads, or even a manual. Any info appreciate.
