I have an odd machine that has two separate parts. One part has a bunch of
interchangeable cutters that turn 1/2" by 1/2" stock into dowels of various
sizes. The other piece looks as if it cuts them all to a specific length, by
placing them vertically in a circular holder, which then rotates past a
cutter. I have no idea what this was originally used for, but it looks to
me the only thing it might be good for is making wooden arrows, or some
reason you would need lots of small dowels. Anyone ever see anything like
this? I have no idea what to do with it...it's 3 phase, so I'm not sure how
to even make it work.

Here Mark, study any badges on the machine, try to find it on this website. If it
is not there then they would appreciate a contribution of images and anything
you know about it from personal experience.
