dovetail machine and bad memory

[turnnut]

Skip,  just a little advise,  spray a little penetrant on all nuts, bolts & clamp screws and
let set for a few days before trying to turn them.  if they are rusty, I spray them with
Gibbs Penetrant, let set, tap them with a brass or lead hammer lightly, then respray
them again. let set again. I have had better luck not breaking them this way.

as you know, it is very hard to find original replacements.

old square nuts I have, bolts, none.

sometime in the near future, I will try to get at mine and see how the chisel comes out.

in the back of my head is a guys name that has or had a big collection of ols machines,
if I can find that info, he would be the guy to ask.

Really cool machine!
 So is this the one with a corner chisel chopping 1/2 the square hole at a bite, and you spin it around for the other 1/2?
   yours Scott
 

This one has a 3 sided chisel like the letter U

Frank

yes, just about 8 feet high

We moved it standing up in a pickup, I didn't want to lay it down.

Nope , I have  never seen any of these chisels, but will be looking for them now.
