This machine is the property of the Boeing Co. The picture and info on it was submitted by Paul Gehlsen, who works there. Apparently, the machine is going to be sold. Paul tells me it has a 3/4" collet - which, I suppose, technically makes this a router table! He also said it was used for shaping sheet aluminum, stainless, fiberglass, and kevlar. Finally, he related that when business was booming, this machine ran just about continuously - three shifts a day - for 30 years!!!!
