I ran one for a while with a 15 ft. bed and that was hardly a "big" one. Really quite the thing for producing flat surfaces. We used to bolt down the table full of table saw tables (a little redundancy there :-) and make one roughing pass and one finish pass. |

Looks like a very early scraper. -- "The history of temperature change over time is related to the shape of the continents, the shape of the sea floor, the pulling apart of the crust, the stitching back together of the crust, the opening and closing of sea ways, changes in the Earth's orbit, changes in solar energy, supernoval eruptions, comet dust, impacts by comets and asteroids, volcanic activity, bacteria, soil formation, sedimentation, ocean currents, and the chemistry of air. If we humans, in a fit of ego, think we can change these normal planetary processes, then we need stronger medication." --Ian Plimer _Heaven and Earth: Global Warming, the Missing Science_ |

It looks like its complete and nothing is broken off. To bad its so far away from me, i would like to own it. Shure would look cute in the shop. Best Regards Tom. |

It's really old -- much older than the 1917 vertical mill I recently got rid of. Planers that small fell out of favor as milling machines got better and more popular. But the really big ones are still in use -- although most of them have been converted to planer/mills. -- Ed Huntress |

Link does not work for me. does not even look right? It is terribly formatted. Two open parens, a bang '!', and a $ (lead in for an environment variable in unix, not to metnion the double tildes. :-) I could not download it with wget (even with proper quoting to protect the wierdnesses), but by cut and pasting it into a browser I was able to get to it -- then save the image with a sane name.

I grabbed Google's URL shortener and it spits out nice, tiny URLs. It's a Firefox add-on which puts a little circular G button on the location bar. I click it, it loads my clipboard, and I can paste it anywhere. I switched from another shortener (which wasn't updated for Firefox at the time) and am happy with it. -- Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. -- Mahatma Gandhi |

Table was about 6' x 16', post WWII, but just. There were actually WWII and pre-WWII era machines still in use at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in the early 80s. Seemed out of place next to the CNCs. We had about 15 of them where I worked in the early 80's though they were larger and had been converted into hydraulic tracer mills. |

They had the biggest lathes I've ever seen, holding Boomer propellor shafts. jsw |
