Just when I thought I knew all of L.S.Barkers line up of machines, and along comes this old four in one combination.
I think the the 60's were the zenith of the combination era, Australian firms such as Artisan, Charles & Hunting, Easy Cut, Wolfenden, Durden, Gilbro and Woodfast created great little combination machines.
But this one from Barker is something else, its a shaper with an inch and 1/4 shaft, a 12 inch jointer/buzzer and 16 inch saw bench and a horizontal borer.
Its is for sure a 60's machine looking at the red badge and the Heidelburg address.
A good friend of mine has purchased this one and he's very happy, his work space is a small area and this machine will suit him well.
