Another German machine, Maka M6

[WarnerConstCo.]

Picked this up today, in town.  Resistance is futile.











That is 176 pounds. 





Cutting a mortise.



Any leads on finding chisels?

Nice bit of kit.. swing chisel morticers have to be so much better than a standard chisel morticer

found this site solidwoodmachinery.com for swing chisels

Darcy, The original Domino?
I'm surprised you have not already found a machine that makes chisels for it.

It leaves a surprisingly clean cut when it busts thru the bottom of the cut.

[wow]

And it figures that you'd have an old Toledo cast-iron scale...

[wink]

The build of this thing is so close to my Festo machines, very similar. 

I think my louver groover is probably the basis for the domino. 

This thing sure is cool though, plus it cuts a nice hole too.

Michael,  The joke is that Darcy seems to find these great old monster machines every where.  He will NOT divulge any of his sources. NOT EVER.  he might give a general location after he brings his toys home, but will not tell how he found them.  We can only sumise that he might even have a great source some where hidden away in the hills and mountains of Greece, the German Alps, North Pole, south Pole and/or any point in between the two poles.  Why, he might already be looking to snatch a great find from somewhere in one of your neighboring towns, or maybe from your next door neighbor.  Read his original post in this thread.  That should be a clue to all to take warning (As in Warner-ing)

To Darcey:  [poke] [poke]
