Woodworker is now operating satisfactorily throughout the Dominion, right from Invercargill -to Whangarei. ■It is in active operation in i the hands of a considerable number of builders, both in the shop and on outside building works, and is. proving a very definite source of economy. Cabinet-, makers and undertakers are also using this machine with great advantage.
