I first encountered him on ebay many years ago. I found that the easiest way to find oliver things was to do a bidder search on ugamuga and see what he was currently winning. I finally connected the dots on the OWWM site last year. quite a collection.

That's only part of it . Chucks got a storage building to work on machinery before it goes into use.

The PM head is a round nomenclature with sheer knives and as I remember a 1 3/16" bore.

Yes at one point I had a PM SET for a few weeks and decided to sell it but for fun I made bushings to try the heads on my Millbury. Just sent you PM head pic's back channel.
