    Default Help Identifying please

    I have just got this joiner. I would like to clean it up and use it but it has no motor.
    I wondered if any one on here recognise it.
    Thanks

    Hi Sam.

    I don't recognise it (that doesn't mean much ). That view is of the back - is there anything on the other side that might give a clue? I wonder if it might be American - in which case are you aware of this site VintageMachinery.org | Welcome

    Or better still this site (where if it IS American they'll have it identified in two minutes) Old Woodworking Machines - Index page

    And of course we'd like details like width, number of knives, diameter of cutterblock. Do you have the fence, the cutter guard, and the top of the pulley guard?

    Cheers, Vann.

    Possibly an early Woodfast or Hyco? That round circle looks like something Woodfast would have done? That said on a Hyco scroll saw it has those very similar vertical lines on the motor/belt cover.

    Definitely not Woodfast or Hyco... Thought it might have been an old Delta Machine by that reeding in the Casting but can't find a Delta like that one.... I would think it wouldn't be a any older than the 60's or 70's with those dicky little adjustment knobs and most likely a machine that was angled at the home user. That's the first jointer I have seen that has the belt enclosed in the casting like that. A bit of googling and I found some old Beaver machines that have enclosed castings over the belt but haven't located a machine just like that. Like Vann said some more pics from the other side would help in the search.

    Are all those knobs plastic or some sort of Bakelite substance. After the Second World War there were a lot of engineering firms that went into machine manufacturing while trying to survive post war.. most didn’t last more than a few years.

    Try looking up a Myford PR11, it looks like an almost exact copy.

    Certainly looks like the Myford and most likely a machine that was built in Australia under some sort of licence. It’s close enough that you could use the Myford as a guide in the restoration. I really don’t know who were building Myford copies in Australia.
