Comments:

Bought for a very good price from a shutter manufacturer going out of business. The motor is a Louis Allis 5HP 440V 3ph direct drive to the 3 blade cutterhead. Overall shape is very good except the electrical controls which were replaced with mickey mouse generic stuff. It is also missing the outfeed table's handwheel. The original fence and blade guard are with it and the bearings have oilcups.
It worked at some point in the past for Loral Defense contractors as the stickers still list.
