Comments:

The machine has been bought new in 1960 and the owner said there were no mortising attachment with it.Apparently it is classified as a mortiser because of the letter "M" in the serial number and the table which can swing 90 degrees both ways.I completly stripped it down to restaured it.I had to get some wear parts remake or machined and the bearings have all been changed.
I have no pictures before the restauration because I had to take it apart to bring it the car.
