From Weimer, TX area. A box jointer is dedicated to random width mach. fed matching. From era when all boxes were wooden, and random width construction most economical. Cutter heads on common shaft, each with own set of in \ out feed rollers. Two operators could be feeding lumber simultaneously. Also ideal for random width T.& G. backing for casework, where maximizing lumber use is desirable. A long time in restoring and not done yet. In pictures one side feed rollers off mach. This box jointer is pat'd Aug. 30, 1892.
