i need a bigger pic on that one but it kind of looks like a miter saw but it might be some kind wrapper? if i could get a real close up on that i would tell you
my god Larry you going back to the beginning of time with this one lol When I first was with A&P they roll the back of every chuck, I seen a couple old timers at that time use one. I tried it but didn't like the damn thing on my finger. I could tie and pick up my knife and cut faster than trying to use that, plus it would roll on your finger. I think the last man I seen use one was around 64.
A note, in the carpet mills here they use those a lot still.

I don't mean to hijack the thread. If we want to talk about the slicer it's cool. I just don't know if we want a separate thread every time we have a "what's it?" question.
Anyway, we have a roast tying machine where I work. We all really like it.

No. Not a jet netter. I understand they were made for use at post offices to tie boxes back when they did that a lot. Now it's just tape.
The machine holds a big spool of string and there's a foot switch that you step on. It puts string around and cuts it. You move the roast along and keep it going.
