Comments:
Purchased at an estate auction. Yet to confirm the horse power, but the heaters are Furnas E67, which works out to 220v @ 7.5 hp. Going to make the VFD/phase conversion expensive (or, just run a smaller VFD and let it trip). No data plate for either the motor or machine. There is an end cap on the motor with a design on it. And it is 3 phase. The auction house powered it on, said it ran right up to speed. The head looks to be a gib style with 3 blades. The oil cups have clean steel wool in them, otherwise no idea of the condition at this time. https://books.google.com/books?id=QX_mAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA18&dq=oliver+mfg+company+pattern+maker+jointer+1903&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi7qZ3svdXXAhVQ7mMKHUPeA80Q6AEIJjAA#v=onepage&q=oliver%20mfg%20company%20pattern%20maker%20jointer%201903&f=false
