The background on this machine is unknown. I bought it from a local contractor. It was owned by his father who was also a contractor. He said it was last used appoximately 2 years ago to make raised panel doors. The 3 inch raised panel cutter was included.

It has a cast iron table, base, frame and face. Only one sheet metal side plate is present.

The spindle is 3/4" and the table is 24x20". The fence is homemade. The cutter guard appears to be original. It has a A. O. Smith 1hp 240v motor. It is driven by 2 v-belts with a 2 3/4" tall pulley on the motor to allow for raising and lowering the spindle.
