Rare Oliver 88DY tablesaw

And by the way Darcy, along with the neatness/coolness of the machine, the next thing I noticed is how well you brought the table top into pristine shape with whatever solution you used on it.  Pretty slick.  [big grin]

I do have a question though, what is the machine in the distance with what appears to be 2 digital read-outs and has a number of vertical wheel operated hand adjusters?

Lots of scratch pads on my rotex.

I think you are talking about the one in the second picture. Those are just two Operator stations for that machine. It is a linear feed through profile sander. Sanding heads adjust up/down in/out and tilt. Can squeeze almost 12" wide out of it. Built in 1999, cost 100k new.

Sometimes I think no one really knows what kind of base the machine needs, so they just decide 3-4 ft deep and a lot of rebar is the answer.

Ya, but if you think about it that's pretty much the old boiler plate solution. Nothing wrong with that...sometimes you don't need to reinvent oxygen. But if you're 50' from bedrock when installing a machine tool, then maybe a little reinvention is warranted.  [smile]

Or your on bedrock and "the experts" decide you can't trust it since it doesn't have a material certificate, and it must be removed and replaced with concrete and rebar.

1. Thanks for that...in 3M speak...that'd be Scotchbrite.  [smile]

2. That's interesting...kind of makes the LS 130 look like a taco machine.  [smile] I gather that the equipment you're gathering is still focused on producing your original idea of reproducing difficult to achieve architectural focal points/design details.

Honestly, I don't know what I'm doing anymore. [emoji38]  everything is there to set up a production shop along with specialty millwork an architectural millwork, my smaller stuff is basically set up (cut off saws, tablesaws, jointers, planer, bandsaws, pattern mills, sanders (disc, edge, stroke, widebelt, etc.) Tenoners, mortisers, etc.) Also have a decent machine shop set up, adding a slotter and maybe a 33k pound Cincinnati Gilbert HBM. I have ended up in a real small niche doing better than new rebuilds though, plus a ton of forklift repairs, industrial maintenance/repair, I'm busy, I'm expensive, I can't keep up.

So yeah, only thing I'm missing is the time to finish wiring and the DC. [emoji38]

Nothing to see there, must be swamp gas and Venus.  Warner Construction only has tools up to the Nixie tube age. Electricity is only to be used for motors and resistive devices.

At some point you know we will find out he has some circa 1900 power engine running dynamos outback to power the shop

Well did you ever look at his truck...certainly circa 1900.  [big grin] [big grin] [big grin]

Nothing wrong with working a real small niche, your billables underline that point. Just keep doing what you're doing as long as you're happy...nothing else matters.  [big grin]

I do enjoy your machinery purchases, nothing I need but everything that I'm interested in.  [big grin]

I also noted you favor machines that produce models...kind of like the current version of 3D printing, but at a much more serious level. In today's world, printing plastic is one thing, machining actual models in real materials is another and a world away.

I don't have a problem with 3D printing and firmly embraced it when they first came to market for use in Enginering rapid prototyping, but it's a long way away from a firm commitment compared to when you machine stuff from steel & wood.

All done with its service. All it needs is the ugly knocked off. It hangs around much longer and I may not be able to resist.

It takes me there when I click on the link I pasted. Huh. Wasn't aware of that.

Yep, the forum software doesn't properly render the embedded shortened YouTube link so you just get a blank area in the post:

I use the tapatalk app from my phone, haven't seen a real version of this forum for years.

Ah the app can render the shortened links!  I only view the FOG in Firefox on my computer or from Chrome on my phone.

I wish I would have discovered old shop equipment forty years ago, then I could have worked my way into that equipment instead of the new stuff! Old bandsaws, table saws, jointers, planers, good old Babbit bearings. All of it is so cool!
