A joke, like all Amish work-arounds.
so... you can't use electricity for powering a machine tool, but hydraulics are OK ?
What powers the hydraulics ?
be nice to see the hydrolicks at work on that tape o matic next to it.....
I wondered the very same thing. Only thing I can imagine, that machine is used as a tracer, communicating hydraulically to oil-motors as servos? Mill in the pic could use that too, but more likely just driving the spindle.
...and a mister too; what generates the air for that ?
Cold saw from the same shop.
