I was most impressed with the range of tooling that was available for this machine. Ben had a number of patterns made for decorative designs that used a circular base with a center pin that allowed a wide range of patterns and guides to be used for embossing applications. All that used this machine all had the same first comment, "once you got used to the low pedal pressure to control the speed (up to 3,000 RPM), the material feeds thru the dies at a very low pressure, making smooth patterns of movement a pleasure". I do not intend this to be a commercial, but this was a VERY well designed machine made from very low tolerance components and the judicial use of O-rings and air pressure makes this machine a low maintenance piece of equipment. My friend, Jimmy Matthews, who makes the shipping boxes for Peters wheeling machines, owns one of Ben's Mechanners and has extended an invitation to me to stop by and learn to use this piece of equipment. I plan to take him up on his invitation. We both spent extended time under Ben's guidance while at Bill's shop. A HUGE thank you to Bill Lonyard and his wife for making this a very pleasant and cordial day in the Carolinas. Bills wife is a master chef and both the lunch and the desserts were world class edibles. The rumor regarding the disappearance of a number of the chocolate chip cookies here in North Carolina, is in NO WAY related to the alleged similar incidences rumored to have occurred in both Minnesota and Tennessee.
