Comments:
A Tauco Manufacturing 6 inch jointer virtually identical to a Rockwell Model 37-220. This one seen at an auction in Pietermaritzburg.
It would appear that the hand wheels may have been removed at the auction site. Tauco Manufacturing machines were made up of Rockwell parts as well as some locally made items. They followed Rockwell practice regarding machine models which they copied as per this jointer.
