Received a small parcel today.
I plan to hook up something to blow the chips and dust collection similar to the maka.

Fantastic. Did someone respond to your ad on woodweb? I would have never guessed those WTB ads worked.

Another nice piece o' iron for the Holcombe shop!

Glad to see it made the trip unharmed. I was a bit nervous, I had never crated or shipped a large machine before. Thanks again!!

Nice! And very glad to see your S500P in the background!

Looks like we're going to need a bigger boat.

Nice one Brian!

Curtis, where did you find the DM ?
Curtis is one of the greater scroungers of good stuff. Dave

Dave, I found the DM at an estate auction in Port Washington about a year ago. I believe the gentleman that had it purchased it new. It was definitely hard to part with, but I am sure Brian will put it to better use than I would.Originally Posted by David Kumm

What is a DM ? Dovetail maker?

Thanks gents!
Patrick, turns out they work. I had a feeling I was throwing a hail mary, but Curtis reached out from the ad on here.
Curtis, thank you again!
Bill, not sure anyone knows what the letters stand for, hah.

That's a clean machine Brian! Looking forward to the table and stop set up you're planning to build.
What size are the bushings needed for this machine? And what size are the Japanese chisels? I've only used Clicos in my shop, they're 5/8".

Thanks, Joe! Appreciate the encouragement and for your insight into the acronym. The castings are impressive, they are about 3/8” thick in the column!
David, this one will remain unrestored, it really doesn’t need any work so far as I can tell, save for a couple spots that could use a touch-up on the paint. I plan to check the machine over and measure how accurately machined it is pretty soon.
Thanks Jeff! The bushing sizes for Japanese chisels are odd, 1/4”, 3/8” and 1/2” are .168”, .2665” and .384” respectively. The chisels themselves can be had in 3/4” and 13/16”. Curtis sent a few chisels and bushings with the machine, I may tune them and run them also, but so far I can’t find a Clico sharpener.

You might try a WTB on the owwm site. I was shocked at how fast I got a response. And I'd need to go back and look but I got an offer from someone in PA to stop by and use their clico hone if I couldn't find one.
Do you normally run Clicos?
