What is this machine for?

Hi All,
I haven't posted here in awhile.

I bought the following machine with the thought that I would use the motor and control box for my lurem planer (c410, if anyone has one of those planers i'd be interested in seeing how the drive is set up).

But having looked at the effort that went into making it, it seems a shame to pull it apart, the guy I bought it from did not know what it was for.









Anybody know what it does, its got a three phase motor, is it worth anything complete.

Looks like its a hinge boring machine.

Great for boring long pieces like newel posts for a dowel joint.
I might be interested in buying it off you.

I didn't think of that myself.

Thanks for the replies lads, if ye were to give it a name what would I put on it.

Would "Newel Post borer" advertise it correctly.

looks like a pillar drill mounted horizontal in a home made frame .like the lads say ideal for drilling hole for newel posts
