It is mounted on a heavy I beam skid which can be winched up onto a truck. For sure Im going to build safty guards of some kind in the near future [Reply]  [No Email]

I suppose after some careful measuring, sheet metal or expanded metal could be used to make removable covers, probably take some time to figure that out, where to mount, still maintain access, and coordinate them to work together, or just make one big portable guard that could be secured, nice machine to have, when business was good the one in the mill where I worked was always busy and made good money.

The more belts,pulleys, and moving parts a machine has, the better - especially if you can't tell what most of them do. [Reply]  [No Email]

Very loud machine, hearing protection to say the least. That one kind or reminds me of it, though it was electric powered, had to be from the 40's, material orders I saw run through it in 4 years time, would take 6" material too, he could shape those logs they use for cabins, been so long I forget the profile. There was a big cubby hole kind of shelf with all the knives this guy cut by hand for all the different jobs for many years, there were hundreds of them, I remember how he would set it up, perfectly matching any molding or piece you wanted, be nice to have in ones wood working shop. PS, those open belts would make me cautious, can't forget those are there and have a loose shirt tail LOL ! [Reply]  [No Email]
