Kelly,
I use one pretty much like that except my table is 34" ( more travel). Other than that, it's pretty much the same. I got a deal on it too, brand new in the crate for $600.Right place at the right time. How can you say no. It handles everything I need it to for knifemaking. It beats the hell out of my 2 table top drill presses although they still have their uses.

The downside is changing belt speeds and that I already spent well over $600 on tooling. Also took some time to adjust properly. Every time you move the head, you have to re tram it because of the floating rack.

I just came back from my buddys place and he has a King KC-45
He got it used for a grand Cnd it is very stable and no belts plus it is variable speed.
I think I'm really liking this one.
