I bought this used in 2003 from a local woodworking supplier the machine came with hold down pattern parts, 11 carbide tip cutter heads along with the 4 molder knife heads, extra feed rollers and belts. This is a push feed type the feed only starts in front so after the first piece of molding passes the in feed you need to push it with the next piece or pull from the out-feed. Nice compact machine takes some time to set up. I ran a bar rail little smaller version of a Chicago bar rail this was 5-5/8" instead of 7-1/2 type. I had to pre-dado the bottom relief cuts to cut. Machine has 3 motors 1 for the in feed,1 for top and bottom cutters and 1 for left and right cutters. I have not run this machine in a couple of years my wadkin shaper is quicker for the shorter runs I need. There was no booklet with this machine If some one has one I would like to get a copy Please.
