Ever here of this chopper?

If it is "Jyden", then it is an original guillotine - probably 20+ years old at least.

Made in Denmark, Jyden went out of business, and the remenants were aquired by Hansen. Some years later, Hansen "went under", and were aquired by PILM in Italy.

Hansen and Cassese Guillotines are similar to Jyden - but some parts may be difficult to source.

Jyden's have an "open front" which make them great to butt up against a wall, and clean the shavings from underneath, unlike all other guillotines which are closed fronts (forcing you to clean from behind).

Hope that brief history helps.

Cheers,

Jared
 
Isn't this forum incredibly amazing.

A framer in USA asks a question.
A reply comes from Australia, and
Another framer from Europe replies with the Jyden Manual.

All within 1 hour!
Leaves me breathless.
 
Indeed....

yeah....but who is the funny retired Englishman making the observation? ;)

I think the Cheese-Head may have that a little wrong.

If the English gentleman were truly retire, he would be:

1) Asleep in his bed and unable to post such an asstute observance.
2) Not traveling hither and yon spreading cheer and framing knowledge about the world.
3) Enjoying the heady scent of fresh nippley tires.... :D


As for back to the discussion..... I've always said, I'd trade two new Morsos for a 1921 Jyden on any given day.
 
when I get in my shop in the a.m., I'll check mine. I'm sure it's a Rammeabriken Jyden. I'll find the registration number. I've been practicing chopping for the past two months (finishing up the jobs he left behind) before I actually open my shop for outside business. It may need to have the blades sharpened. He didn't have an extra set of blades. My FIL, whose shop equipment I now have, got it in 1975 from the shop he had been working in for about 10 years (so it's probably pre-1965?).

:help:Baer, I wish we had taught you lot to speak proper English.
What is a nippley tire?
 
Take no notice of him Keith.....he's just jerking your chain so you'll ask that exact question. ;);)

We call 'em nobbly tyres down here and they go onto wheels on a motor conveyance. Dirt bikes have 'em!
 
Ormond,

Could I put nippley tires onto my pocket rocket?
Would it go any quicker ?

our Jyden had been used for 20 years when we bought it in 1969 we still use it every day most for fillets
 
My Jyden doesn't have a date on it anywhere that I could see. There is a round badge with the company name and "Made in Denmark" on it. The serial # stamped on the machine is 19476. There is a "67" stamped on it as well. The right extension table is measured in 1/4" increments (I wish I had the 1/8" - or maybe they're there and won't show up without a good cleaning!). I don't think it's made of stainless steel as indicated in the instruction manual in the link from the earlier post. I have the left-hand extension table which was an option.

This instruction booklet is very helpful. I have manuals for all other equipment, so this completes the set. The equipment needs cleaning/lubricating badly and the instructions have helped in this regard. Thanks to Jared for the history and Framing for the manual.
 
wipe the right table down with 0000 steel wool and acetone. If the 1/8" marks are there.... they will show as very fine, and half the length of the 1/4 marks.

(a fast rub with some black wax, and a buff out will help keep the whole bed smooth and slippery. (and enhance the lines). A 40 watt oblique light is helpful too.

Keith.... you too buy nipply tires...... when they are new, they have those little nipples from the casting relief holes. A good spin through the countryside with the Boxter will cure the "newness".... but they still smell wonderful for at least a week. :D
