Can anyone identify this machine?

This is a neat piece of equipment! We make baseball bats, and may look into making our own billets. Anyone know who makes this or where I could get one?
thank you all!

[Scott Lux]

Yup, That's a machine. ;)

[Jim Underwood]

Got any more pictures of the business end? Looks like it uses a big core drill....

Check with Louisville Slugger Co. ; Louisville, KY.
I have seen pictures of a machine like that in their museum.

Pen blank making machine for a very large pen, a BR4000 I think. No seriously, I have no idea but the color makes me think it is a Baker machine of some sort.

It sure looks like a bat billet machine. Used to rough turn the billets before turning the final baseball bat.

[Eric Kosanovich]

hmm... band saw?

[Bruce Pratt]

Don't know who makes the machine, but the pictures may have been taken at Larimer & Norton, 328 Cable Hollow Rd, Russell, PA, a lumber mill which makes bat billets. Try contacting them for details.

Check out Ex-factory. Lots of used machinery there.
