This is the machine as I've found it. I plan on doing a resto when the summer rolls around.

It is a very heavy pattern jointer, heavier even than my Fay and Egan 316. It is not as refined, but very stoutly built.

It has babbits and a unique 2 knife round cutter head. The knives are placed in slots like modern heads, but retained by compression bolts like the clamshell design. It is missing the fence.

I'm looking forward to restoring it to operation and can't wait till the chips fall out the chute for the first time.
