Located at the LL Johnson Lumber Mfg. Co. and Johnson's Workbench in Charlotte, MI. I stopped in to get some boards to restore my front porch, this is what they used to plane the wood.

Johnson's has 5 Buss planers, this is a double head 36" wide. They have at least 3 double head (top and bottom) planers, 36" wide I believe they said and at least 1 single head (top only).

The machine man said he thought it has a 25hp motor.

Tags are off another Buss planer there too.
