Default Interesting Machine - Orton Model No. F. Variable Tilt Ship Shaper

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.
Respectfully,
Ron Moore
