You will notice the square drive in the center where the belt drive is...This is where the square blank is pushed thru into the round and square knives. The knives move on the cam(the long bar on the belt side in the previous picture) around the shaft at the bottom. So basically you can make barrel tapers or straight shafts with the cams provided or make others for more exotic shaft configurations.Coo-wah-chobee said that Lampert only used cedar but I tried it with oak before I made that new square drive and it worked! Timo-Ionian mounted his jig on 2 rails not me. I just wonder if anyone else has one of these Lampert Aromakers. My brother said the best thing about it was that it didn't end up on a scrap heap because noone knew or cared what it was

Last picture. The little round knife on top cuts the shaft at the end and tapers it for the nock! Brilliant!!

Nick, can you take a picture with a shaft in it? Do the shafts feed throgh the pully? It looks like a self powered version of the dowell maker that Lee Valley sells. That's a good find there.

The shafts feed thru the pulley. In the first picture you will see the push tool at the pulley end of the machine. It has a dead center and a flag that work the cams on the belt side. yes quite a good find-syncronicity! I'll post more pics later- Nick
