Just finished second leg of my cross country trip(this one was to Florida and back}to pick up my Wysong & Miles Hollow Chisel Mortiser,Model #284,automatic feed,5H.P.,220 volts,3 phase,3450 rpm's.The machine is complete and has no broken parts or castings.
when I got there to pick it up the old owner gave me a box full of chisels and bits that they didn't have listed on e-bay with the mortiser(25 chisels and bits,10 extra bits,from 1/4"to 3/4"}.The mortiser was real dirty with saw dust and dirt but cleaned up real nice.I now must decide between this mortiser and the Yates American K-25 foot operated mortiser that I bought last month.On my way back I took a back road to avoid all the traffic on the interstate and came across a whole mess of OWWM's behind an old building in a small town.I will be making another trip back down there next week to find the owner and see if he is interested in selling some of them.
