THIS MACHINE IS NOT FOR SALE, NOR IS IT MINE, DON'T ASK, AND NO I DO NOT WANT TO TRADE YOUR ITEM "X" FOR IT. THIS IS NOT A SALES FORUM AND I DO NOT HAVE MACHINERY FOR SALE HERE.

This is not my planer, it is now owned by OWWMember James Page, profile: http://owwm.org/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=5568 . I was shown this machine recently behind an old sawmill of the previous owner in the Buffalo, NY area. It is presently a two knife head, probably had more to it tho' at one time, 24"(?) blade. I really do not know anything more about at this time, details to follow, see this discussion: http://www.owwm.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=103459
