Thefollowing are some of its importantpoints: It works four sides 9 ins. or 14 up to 6 ins. thick, and by the use of belt-tightening ap-paratus 2-in. stock can be matched to advantage. This lastdevice is a decided improvement on this machine, and oneeasily appreciated by all woodworkers. The frame is massive,prevents vibration and resists all strain, and the machine canbe run at a very high rate of speed, under instant control ofoperator. The feed is six large powerfully driven rolls, with expansion. DOUBLE CYLINDER LIGHTNING FLOORER gearing, that can be easily raised and lowered, and the feeding-out one is provided with scrapers. The matching works are very heavy, and cylinders four-sided and slotted, and chip-breaking lips are provided to workcross-grained or knotty lumber. Shaving hoods swing outwardto give access to knives. Pressure bars have easy adjustmentsto insure easy operation. Taken altogether, this machine willbe found to possess many new advantages, and is in fact oneof the most successful specialties of the makers. James F.
