Modern Woodworking Machine Company leicester

[Froggy]

Hi Everyone,

Can anyone point me in the direction of any info about the Modern Woodworking Machinery Co. please? I've searched the net but can't find much at all. I'm particularly interested in their spindle moulder as I'm about to become the proud owner of one?
The machine I'm getting was a 3 phase machine but has been converted to single phase. Does anyone have one?

Cheers in advance Froggy.

Hi Froggy

Modern Woodworking Machines Ltd ceased trading in the mid eighties, their spindle moulder range came to an end in the late sixties as from then they concentrated on universal machines, saw benches,knife grinders, hollow chisel morticers, planers/thicknessers and bench and foot mitre machines. the company had a long history of woodworking machinery before electric motors they produced belt driven machinery. their machines were certainly bult to last
