Gimmee Gimmee Gimmee...
The economy in the US is in such shambles there's a ton of deals on woodworking/metalworking equipment as more and more factories and shops close their doors. If shipping didn't cost so damned much I'd be buying machines left and right. Check out this bad-ass boring machine for $1000. Put an XY table on it and you'd have the mother of all mortising machines.

mother f. is that off of x-factory? my incessant machine searching has kinda stalled. now i looking for information on restoring my bandsaw. i'll need a bottom guide for it. the setup that i have just has two angle sticks with no thrust bearing. i think i need a #0 wright guide, found one for 125$ on a random website. i'll need that and tires, and some paint. the guy repainted, but it's pretty rough. it'll need some bondo.
where are you at with your mortiser? probably on hold for now i imagine.
Yah, X-FACTORY. There's a liquidaton on some big manufacturer in Michigan. That thing would be the cat's ass, 5hp direct drive.
Yeah, that's the shitty thing about old old old machinery, they take a lot of tinkering. She'll sure be pretty when it's done though! What size are the wheels? I've got a 22" gap bed lathe, with the gap bed removed I think it can swing 24". Hmmm, I know a drunken Swiss machinist who has a 28" lathe. For a bottle of Jager he might help a brother out...
No mortise machine progress, sadly. If it doesn't involve getting my house done I haven't been doing it.
it's got 26" wheels. i think i'll be able to figure something out with a router and some files and some sweat. a bit of brass for some hinges and i'll be off to the races.
that's some mighty fine plagarism on your profile. it gives you a nice soft edge to your otherwise rugged look.
Daddy, what's a plagarism?
Goddamn that machine looks incredible!
plagiarism. can i blame that on the french?
In looking at random blogs on the internet I always find it odd that people put such personal things on their public profiles. 'Well, I was born with both male and female genitals... my priest said I had such soft hands... the cream got rid of it...our saviour jebus christ...'.
I just steal song lyrics, and change them every few weeks.
