Oh no, it's the Name That Machine Christmas Special!!!!!

[Scrit]

Yes, yet another Christmas special. After all that turkey and stuffing another chance to add bon mots to probably the most pointless thread on this forum. It's back (although no bigger, better or even brighter.....). So without further ado I'll introduce you to the three machines I want you to name:

Machine #1

Machine #2

Machine #3

I know that these are Victorian woodcuts from makers catalogues, but you guys make things really difficult for me. And the third one should be really easy :wink:

Good luck!

Oh and for anyone really interested, there'll be another one next week :roll:

Ermmm..... which one? :?

Or should I say close but no banana #-o

 

[martlewis]

Ooh ooh my turn...

#2 looks like a thicknesser and #3 a bandsaw maybe?

Haven't got a clue about #1 tho.

Any good?

 

[Scrit]

No. 2 is a bit more than a thicknesser...... No.3 3 has more than one function

if this was modern machinery you wouldnt be able to see what it was for machine guarding

Hi Duncan

No. 1 is not a tenoner, neither is No. 2 a veneer cutter (although I can see whay you said that) but No. 3 is a universal - care to name the functions?

Oh, really? :lol:

Funny, I thought they were the mobility rollers? :wink:

Yes, it's certainly the sort of thing to give a safety officer the willies

No 3 seems to have a tablesaw, bandsaw, planer, thicknesser, and spindle molder.

No1 a pin router
No2 a two sided moulder
No 3 a multi machine with errrmm

I can't take my eyes off that little wheel sneaking up through the floorboards in front of machine no 3.

What the....?

 

[Scrit]

No 3 seems to have a tablesaw, bandsaw, planer, thicknesser, and spindle molder.

OK, yes. the moulder is actually a horizontal one (for moulding skirtings) and according the Thomas Robinso,n the manufacturer, "is an ideal machine for every joiner's shop" - if the lack of guarding doesn't worry you too much.

 

[Jorden]

Is No 2 some sort of hollow planer for making things like barrel segments?

Dennis

 

[mel]

as no one got it
no1 is a railway sleeper incisor and hole driller
i think you got the rest

 

[Scrit]

Are you a mind reader or something? Yes, no. 1 is correct. In fact nobody really got No. 2, the Arbey trying-up machine. A trying-up machine works rather like a hand plane and surface planes timber from above - often no rotary cutterblock, but a chain-drive bed or moving table to push the timber through the machine. It was a Victorian invention and lasted until the late 1920s / early 1930s and Robinson's even offered some of their 4-side moulders with non-rotating trying-up heads. Never seen one in use, though.
