Bought at an auction but know little about the machine. Apparently the
spindle runs at up to 10k rpm and will produce a finished edge on a piece of
aluminum 6" thick! Only 4" thick if at a 45 degree tilt! Real nice steel
top. AB spindle motor controller. Sold first to an aircraft factory and
later to AT&T plant. Anyone NEED one of these things? A bit more than my
hobby requirements are. If anyone has any experience with one of these
things, I'd really be curious.

Indeed. Most Orton routers are used more for wood than metal. Aluminum

'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith
becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact
equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man
because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the
person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...
There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American,
but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag,
the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the
English language.. and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a
loyalty to the American people.'
Theodore Ro osevelt 1907
