Comments:

I do not own this machine. It was offered on a German aution site in fall 2026. It is probably a good example for the mid-century woodworking machines Schwabedissen used to build before they specialized in double-end profiles and CNC machining centers. According to the sller, the machine has got a 6 hp motor.
It looks like a very solid traditional machine but I especially like that, on the manufacturer's plate, Schwabedissen explicitly stated that they build "neuzeitliche" (that means "modern") woodworking machinery. A little contradicting to OWWM, at first sight, but 70 years later all is put into perspective again. :-)
