For Sale:
Reichenbacher Six-Spindle Manual Wood Copying/Carving Machine
German-built professional-grade manual copying router in full working order. Still running on original milling motors after more than 50 years – a clear indication of the exceptional quality for which Reichenbacher was renowned.
Ideal for small professional workshops, restorers, or serious hobbyists needing accurate repetition of carved components, including:
Furniture parts (table legs, chair backs, crest rails)
Figurines and decorative carvings
Architectural mouldings and ornamental details
Other free-form or sculpted wooden elements
The machine uses traditional stylus tracing: one master pattern is followed by hand while all six spindles cut identical parts simultaneously. A proven, reliable method for short to medium runs where full CNC is not required.
Inspection, demonstration, and test cutting welcomed by appointment.
