This is one of Oliver's bread and butter machines. The 299 planer is another testament to solid engineering and machine work. One of the great features of this machine is the ability to remove any one roller, or the cutterhead with out disturbing the others. This particular machine was purchased from a gentleman in southern California. It was originally sold by a dealer in L.A. to a local cabinet shop. From there, it went through two more shops to the one I purchased it from. This machine has the segmented infeed rollers and chipbreaker, reeves variable speed drive, and the complete knife grinding and jointing apparatus. It appears to have been overhauled at least once, and done well. Aside from the mental institution green paint job, the planer is pretty much ready to run. Needed are an infeed roller grease zerk, new universal joints in the power feed transfer shaft, and a power cord.
