Oliver 24"Pattern Makers Jointer with Oliver Itch Head,5 H.P.,220/440 volts,3 Phase,3480
R.P.M.,infeed table 26"x 64",outfeed table 26"x 40",4 3/4"x 24" cutter head.U.S.N. property #302074,Navy Yard #42-48,Year purchased 1908,Cost $750.00.I bought this jointer for a friend of mine.The machine started its life as a babbit bearing,belt drive,straight knife cutter head jointer and sometime it was sent back to Oliver for a reto fit to a ballbearing,direct drive,itch head jointer.The infeed table tilts left or right to the plane of the cutter head but my Yates American Pattern Makers out feed table
tilts up or down to plane of the infeed table.The bad thing about this machine is coming from a goverment auction it has sat outside for some time and the fence and fence support table were taken off for shipping.Are you seeing where I'm going with this?They were put on a different pallet and lost or scraped (can you see the tears yet!).I went and inspected the machine before the auction and was hopeful of finding the missing parts.The search has just started,stayed tune for up dates.
