Comments:

276 was the classic Mattison small moulder
6" width, although with some small modifications it will pass 7"
We got 6 1/2" blanks through them

This one has the rare fifth head, typically used for sawing out moldings, making multiple pieces, and magically multiplying the linear throughput.
Note its bevel capacity for angled splitting, or something.

these are well worth keeping running - somebody must agree...
