Just wondering if someone can give me some information on this tool? Thanks, Jamie

I'm no tool expert but it appears to be some sort of custom router table with an "X" and "Y" PC router mount?

Can you get a photo from the other side without the stuff on the table?

Without at least one router motor, it is a piece of scrap.

this is the best i can do. a guy has it for sale on cl. he wants $100 for it. I have never seen anything like it so i figured it was home made.

Looks like a custom sticking setup. The horizontal router would do the slot and the vertical doing the profile. I did a similar setup once for making some garage door parts.

Does the Board Buddy come with it?

is a PC motor included or just 2 bases? A setup like that could come in handy for mortising I would think.

Looks like a type of horizontal/vertical router. Put a vertical panel bit in it and make molding.
$100? Maybe for the bases if you had routers for it.

But I'm a real frugal penny pinching kinda guy.
With that said, I'll buy just about anything for the right price if it looks like something I'll use.
This contraption looks interesting, why would the board buddy be mounted sideways like that? Don't think I'd spend $50 if I wasn't SURE I could use it, I'd toss 25 bucks out though just to find out.

it looks like a home made multi router...like the one David Marks has
