Comments:
I do not own this machine, I restored for a friend in Austin Texas who purchased this 6" surface planer when he was living in the San Fransisco area.
This planer was in good shape,the previous owner did a restoration with a lighter gray paint color out of a rattle can. I repainted it using Awl Grip two part polyurethane paint mixed to matach that King-Seeley gray color in the early 1950's.
This 6" planer is on one of the rare factory Craftsman cast iron pedestal style stands designed for this planer also.
