I measured a few dimensions and determined that this wheeling machine has a 27-1/2" throat, and the height from the mounting surface to the wheel convergent point is about 15-1/2". The stand that I made is 34" tall making the operating height on this machine to be about 49-1/2". Note in the next to the last picture that there are long adjusting screws beneath the cradle 'legs'. I looked more closely and there are pins that run up thru the cradle legs and are able to raise either side in a manner than will 'rotate' the lower anvil relative to the upper wheel. Perhaps Peter can jump in here and explain more about how to use this feature. The cradle width is a little wider than the anvil to make room for this angular movement.

Gentlemen ...that really looks good
as a matter of interest how is the US top wheel fitting on the shaft? Any movement? is it to tight? What is the run out like ? is the spacer between the two bearings OK...............(I just like to make sure that all is working well)
Do not forget the fact that it does not need to be squeezed to get shape up .......Will remember the door skin me and you made in Oblong?
