File name of full size picture is "McKees Rocks", in semi-disappointment is a Pennsylvania location, not a machine name. Can anyone read the cast in identification found on column, operators right side?
For a member with empty square footage, a slotter of perhaps next size smaller is available in SoCal, I've bookmarked. It's not on my hunt list, just an easy way to find that vendor. I've run shapers and planers, no shop with a slotter. There were however, some in Los Angeles, running in oil field shops, and Naval Shipyard. Their advantage, large sized work pieces, due to throat depth and built in rotary table, simplifies a difficult set up. Gravity and horizontal just go together.
