The improved panel or surface cylinder planer shown in our first cut is adapted to all kinds of work from one-sixteenth of an inch to eight inches thick, planing smooth. It is made with reversible feed, from the best iron and steel, and can be regulated by means of cone pulleys to any desired speed, while the appliances for changing the thickness (raising and lowering bed) are novel and unequaled for accuracy and convenience. Every machine is finished in the best style, belted up, tested and put in complete running order previous to shipment. The cylinders are of cast steel and can be safely driven at a speed of 4000 or 4500 revolutions per minute. There are seven sizes, from twelve to twenty four inches wide and weighing from 500 to 1400 pounds, ranging from $150 to $325 in price. Of planers' not provided with the reversible feed eleven sizes, twelve to twenty four inches wide, are made — prices $135 to $450. Pressure bars are attached to the above planers for—eighteen inches, $25; twenty inches, $28; twenty-four inches, $35. In addition to the machines already referred to Mr. Streeter builds a superior buzz planer, sixteen inches wide; price, $200. |
