Got this earlier this month and just got around to calibrating and cleaning it up a bit.
It's a Northtech Model NT-25-3 Hollow Chisel Mortiser:
* 2 HP • 3 PH • 230V • 3600 RPM motor
* 1/4" -1" chisel capacity
* stroke of 0-3 3/8"
* Rack and pinion movement of table;
* L to R = 10 1/2"
* F to B = 5"
* solid cast iron construction
* made in 1999
This unit seems to have seen very little use since it was purchased, it's a real cherry. First cuts before calibration were quite good, have to give it a real trial run soon.
Next step is to cut down on the size of the pallet it came on and mount casters for mobility. This will put it a great height as I am pretty tall. So this cuts the square holes; next up is something that cuts slots and that should allow me to address any M&T task that will present itself.
