Thread: Vintage American woodworking Machinery.

I have an old American machine that could be earlier than the 1890's due to the maker using "The" in the name plate. It is a Disc & Bobbin Sander made in Rochester New YorkDisc Sander name plate.jpg

Matty do you know of a Dewalt radial arm saw "GE Model" or a GP that up for sale.

I was looking for Wadkin catalogues Matty. I only got to touch the F&E catalogue - and take a few photos.
