B. M. Root Machinery Co.

After acquiring a Root Drill Press/Mortise Machine, I was curious to learn more about the company. Here are some excerpts and links, all in one place.You can also find more info on various woodworking forums, and images on auction sites.

These machines come up for sale here and there, they're very durable and shouldn't take too much to get in working order. Often they are equipped with three phase motors, meaning you will need an appropriately sized VFD.
