Earlier today, Jeff Joslin posted a picture of a cutterhead for one of these machines. I knew I had pictures of an actual machine which I had taken in 2006, so I contacted him, and figured I'd better post the pictures, too. This machine is one of several owned by Mr. Jim Saiers. These machines are on display at the Buckley Engine Show grounds in Buckley, Michigan. This machine is in good working condition, and demonstrations are given at the annual engine show there. It's still driven via belt from an overhead lineshaft! Many other old woodworking machines are on display there. Google "Buckley Engine Show", and make your plans to attend in 2011!
