I've always had an affinity for Parks planers, I like their simplicity.This has served me well,I wish it had segmented rollers.Thinking about getting a Byrd head for it.The one fault in the design is that the shavings plate is set by screws that actually rub on the feed rollers,leaving an indentation.I put that board across the handle to lift the screws above the rollers.I can find tune it with small shims if need be.
