Is this a copy of r/p bm16

[Bingy man]

I have the record power bm16 mortiser and I recently had an email from rutlands. I believe I’ve seen another one online from another company but can’t remember. I seem to remember reading a post a while back saying r/ p were no longer producing certain machines. Looks almost identical to my bm16 apart from a colour change and a new name . Any thoughts pls

Looks quite similar to the Charnwood one I have too although without the pathetically weak plastic Bristol locking levers and a somewhat more robust handle

I see Axminster are now doing their craft morticer. They didnt have it for a long time and its a great price at only £320.
Im not sure if its the same one that you could buy an extension block for that lifted it 50mm for a greater timber height.
I've been meaning to get one of these, very handy they are.

not really relevant but i thinkthis design and the bm designation was originally a william ridgway thing. I have a bm 3.
