I was picking up a free 3 phase motor off of CL. About a mile after leaving from the pickup and stopping to get a coffee, I did a quick search on CL. A Powermatic 100 just showed up and the number looked familar. It was the same person I just picked up the free 3 phase motor from. Called him up and said I'm turning around to see it. After seeing it in action, we quickly worked out a sale price. At this point, there are two Parks Planers in the garage waiting to be restored. Two planers just became three... By the way, these Powermatics are beasts. This one is powered by a single phase, 3 HP Leland motor. After tuning and replacing the blades, the planer shoots out the shavings. Looks like those two Parks will be posted to BOYD soon.
