Part 3/11:
The machine carries an attached tag with some information, though age and clarity make it difficult to decipher fully. It is equipped with an adjustment nut for tension, allowing for fine-tuning during operation. The compound goes up and down, facilitating different cutting angles and depths as needed. In a demonstration, a piece of dome steel was inserted to showcase the machine's function.
One of the interesting aspects noted was the gear system, which appeared to be in pristine condition, with no damage or rust—raising the possibility that the machine was rarely or never used. The gears and threads look almost brand new, except for a slight lime rust that accumulated over the years.
