Purchased from an amish woodworker around 1983 in Ethridge, TN. He had acquired it from a millwork shop in Lawrenceburg, TN. Cost $500 which included two huge 3ph, 3hp motors and about 50 sets of notch edge cutters. It originally had babbitt bearings which we replaced with flange pillow blocks. It had originally been set up to operate with floor mounted motors and long v-belts to allow for up and down adjustment. we fabricated mounts and installed physically smaller motors to save space. We put it on casters for the same reason. The table is 42" X 54" and it is 34" high. Serial # 101986. This is a scary machine to operate.
