Bell was a furniture machine builder, later merged with other brands under the Medalist name.
The 180 is a multiple hollow chisel mortiser for specialty mortises in cabinet and carcase parts - for dressers, etc.
Very versatile machine for mortising.
Can accept many heads, as needed.
Good for making square plug holes in the end of flooring boards
