Comments:

Acquired from a gentleman downsizing his collection of antiquities. Machine had spent many years at a casket plant prior.

The width requires the infeed table elevation wheel to be on the front rather than behind. The spring joint adjustment is on the back of the outfeed table rather than in front. The machine is lower than the narrower models. The cutting circle is larger than usual and the journals are 1 15/16".

Comments: Wide front foot bears only in the center for three point contact. Double lead screws front and back.

Comments: Outfeed rabbetting ledge, typical Clement fence. I believe it is ground out to allow running wide figured stock a significant angle.
