This company made the Boose "Complete Power Workshop", which was a multifunction machine consisting, we believe, of tablesaw, shaper, and jointer. Walter Knapp, a machine designer who had received several patents on behalf of DeWalt Products Co., was granted three 1956 patents related to this machine.
We have very little information on the company and their product. Because the machine appears to use a lot of cast alumimum, there is probably some sort of connection to the Boose Aluminum Foundry Co., Inc.
