I purchased this trimmer from a retired cabinet maker. He owned it for forty years. He didn't use it much in the last 15 years he said. I picked it up off of a kind of high bench in his immaculate shop and was really happy with the heft. Also happy I didn't break anything. This weighs over 100 lbs. PO before him was a finish carpenter. Needs only a light cleaning and little lube. Blades are huge and thick compared to my Lion trimmer. Etchings or millings of angles are pretty clear. Multiple indexing holes. Note modified tool used as handle. Fits quite well but I'm looking for an orig handle.

Comments: Note how the adjustable fence is not on a hinge or tied down. The back fits up against the back wall allowing for wide range of angles
