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!

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.

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.
