lathemizer
Curious about the picture. I see the lathe mizer thing. The bright orange and black thing. But is the light orange and gasoline motor thing on the trailer the Wood mizer slabbing machine that cuts logs into boards? And both just happen to be shown in the picture. Not sure how you would use it as a lathe since there is no toolrest. It might be an OK tool for making fence posts.

The LM is attached between the ways of the Wood Mizer (WM), a horizontal band saw. A log is mounted on the LM, the motor turns the log relatively slowly while the WM chews its way down the log, parallel to the axis. The result is a turned pole or log, as used mostly in log homes. Sort of a limited use case. |
