B66-225 FOOT POWERED MORTISING MACHINE. C.B. Rogers No. 6. Rogers, founded in Norwich, CT, in 1854, described the No. 6 as their "large" mortiser, and they weren't kidding. This thing is 36" wide by 48" deep and 66" high. It was also known as the "Fay" mortiser, having been originally manufactured by J.A. Fay & Co., which in the 1840s was the largest maker of woodworking machinery in the world, based on Page's 1833 patent. Wood frame with cast iron mechanism; the catalog shows it with a spring pole mounted to the wall above it to return the chisel to its original position after the mortise is cut. You'll have to provide that, but it has four of the original five chisels and original wrench. What's there is in very clean and working condition and with a 60% intact paper label. BTW - the catalog noted that the shipping weight was 300 pounds and that "boxing is extra"; it will be extra with us too so make sure you are willing to pay for the shipping before bidding absentee. Good+ 400-800
