Comments:

From Eidelboch Lumber, Flatonia, Tx. Common in early sash & door shops in this part of the country in late nineteenth century. Identical to the tennoner in the Iola Planing Mill [1880-1890] in S.E. Kansas. Fully adjustable at each cutter head. The sliding table is a little primitive working in an inverted 'V' groove which creates a great deal of friction / effort to move and was later improved with use of bearing rollers. Note abbreviation of St'[?]
