Comments:

Bought this on Craigslist from an owner near Manassas, VA. It was in quite bad shape when I bought it, scarred and covered with paint drips. I broke it down, cleaned it, repainted some parts, replaced the bushings, made a new gasket, turned a new knob, added new belts and sharpened the badly worn knives. It appears to be a Yager-style planer with the redesigned base they introduced in 1948.

It has a round cutterhead about two inches in diameter. Knives are marked "yager" but have been extensively reworked and resharpened many times, so they are different sizes
