Another of my grandpa's tools I ran down. This belongs to my cousin and am storing it.
I am not sure this is a Superior machine but after looking through the mothership the closest to matching my machine is John Orvis Superior.
I am sure my grandpa made some moldings with this machine. I have several of his molding cutters and there is a set in the machine. It has the dangerous square head.
Something unusual about the machine is that the tables can slide back and forth for molding bit clearance and the table can be raised and lowered by the conventional wedge adjustment. I doubt that I will ever use this machine but am keeping it for sedimental reasons.
