Comments:

A number of years ago I aquired this mortising machine from a cabinet shop going out of business.I had no use for it and tucked it away in the corner of the shop. I recently stumbled across the OWWM site and that has renewed my interest in this machine. The only information I can find is on the chain guard. It is belt driven and may have been connected to a belt systen. The chain is raised and lowered by the long arm which is counter balanced by the +/- 75lb. weight. There is a wooden deck onto which the wook piece would be clamped ( not shown in photos).The table is moved in/out and side to side by the hand wheels. Has anyone seen one of these and could provide some information about it.

Thank you
Gerald
