Comments:

Acquired this machine sometime ago in an estate sale from a retired machinist. He was known to have worked in several factories over his life and had a well-equipped home shop with many early metalworking machines and lots and lots of tooling.

The machine has a couple of brass asset management tags on it for inventory control purposes so it lived previously in an industrial setting. I am trying to learn as much as I can about the machine, it's corresponding tooling, and how to use it ultimately. The machine is included in this discussion thread on the OWWM website: http://owwm.org/viewtopic.php?f=77&t=159953&start=15

It also has a tag indicating it was sold by Bourke and Mabee Machine Tools out of Canada initially.
