So I bought a combination machine .....
Hi,
As the title suggests I recently purchased a combination machine for what I think is a good price. One of the reasons it was so cheap, however, is that it has a few 'issues' ....
It contains a table saw, spindle moulder and combination planer / thicknesser. At present only the spindle moulder is functional.
There doesn't seem to be anything on it to identify who made it, but I think it is Italian in origin, and has an 'Acme Saws & Machines Pty Ltd, Melbourne' sticker on it.
The 3 separate functions are powered by 3 individual 2HP (1.5kW) single phase motors.
Issues I have identified so far include:
- 2 of the motors may need to be replaced
- one of the bearing housings for the thicknesser/planer is cracked and has pieces missing
- the drive belt and pulleys for the thicknesser feed rollers are missing
Nothing that time and money won't sort .
I've attached a photo - if anyone has any thoughts on a manufacturer I would very much appreciate it. A manual would also be great, but I don't like my chances!

Judging from the 'Attenzione' sticker, Italian is probably right. Some more pics, including a motor badge, might help

The Machine,
Hi Cam,
Many years ago 2 of my woodworking friends each bought a " Lurem "
It seems to be the same Machine, & both had a bit of trouble, but with one of the drive Belts, & cost a fortune.
Then one found a Wheel that had teeth 4 x ½in. 100 x 12mm.Dia.
If memory serves me he used that white plastic, very hard, so he used that.
Situation saved.Regards,
issatree.
Have Lathe, Wood Travel.
