Wowsers! That's bigger than the huge one I saw at the framing shop a while back. Are you gonna make an offer in it? (BTW Mohammad, I checked with the framing shop. They aren't interested in selling any of their old machines.)
I think it is a fairly old machine, not in use much these days I would guess. I thought of taking the knives out of it, filling in the holes and then getting some really large stick on sanding discs for it But I do not have the space for such things
Those are some great machines, would love to have a shop full, and then watch the expressions when you mention your going into the pen blank production biz
I noticed the slicer in Stu's photo is a 'Takenawa'...I'm guessing it's called that in relationship to it's power ...Takenawa...Taken awa da finger tips
I'm sure with very sharp knives it would slice endgrain very straight and very flat, as well as very smooth, but yeah, not the kind of tool I'd be wanting to use
