R. Bailey & Vail of Lockport, New York. This machine is especially adapted for bedstead and chair work. The mortising is not done by the pressure of a chisel, as in the old machines, but with a twisted bit by a rotary and vibrating motion. The best number of revolutions for the bit is 775 per minute. This machine is also well adapted for wagon makers and
