Bought from fellow member down in Eugene, Or, who got it from a cabinet shop in southern Oregon. Had been in daily use until OSHA told them that without guards they could not run it. No serial number. So few of these that not a lot of info available. Powered by a huge 1 1/2 hp Westinghouse single phase 220. Smooth and one of the quietest planers I have ever heard. All solid cast iron...Still have to make guards. Has a very interesting and quite unique bed roller adjustment. See the pictures of Cables restoration to get explanation.
