Comments:

Acquired from the Whitehouse-Crawford Co. in Walla-Walla, 1987. Ran it for while and then stored it to make space. It is now being set up for a dedicated pattern use. It has mostly been used for small mouldings. The feed works are sure in spite of it's odd looks. The side heads tilt manually, then lock at tilt and adjust laterally by rod. Frame is rather light. Requires smaller knives and bolts for it's three inch heads. Basically, a real nice machine for lighter work.
