I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

My MiniMax FS-35 has a pork chop guard. Machines imported to the US didn't always have Euro guards. Anyway, here's a photo of the Seco for sale.

It has a Euro guard on it, but it doesn't look original. And it also has a mount for a pork chop guard just in front of the cutterhead's left bearing. If you look at the last photo in the link showing the machine specs. you'll see a pork chop guard. A pork chop guard on a 16" machine gets pretty cumbersome with a wide board; it's hard enough to work around it on my 14". That's probably why the one on this machine got changed to a Euro type guard at some point.
If you've never seen a waterfall guard they are a very clever solution to the problem of pork chop guards on wide machines. Here's one on my friend's 16" Zefam jointer. It operates like a pork chop guard but flows down over the side of the machine as it opens. Very clever.

Sorry I meant if it's a European machine, but it could be manufactured over there for European specs. I have no idea, but that is the same style guard as my Hammer A3-31.

Where's the jointer?
I only see a land-locked aircraft carrier.

That's a little guy. The Zefam I posted a picture of probably weighs twice as much (over 1600 lbs) and has tables over 8' long. There's a guy from Finland who posts on here occasionally, too, who has one that I think is 24" wide. Now that's getting pretty big.

Way back in the 70's when I was in High School, are jointers (Delta) had guards just like this one. I don't get around much, but I've never seen them since.
