I MAY HAVE EITHER THE LAST 20 INCH PLANER PARKS MADE OR AT THE VERY LEAST ONE OF THE LAST.
THE ONE I HAVE WAS MODIFIED AT THE FACTORY SO THAT THE FEED RATES ARE, 14 & 28 FPM.
THE ENGINEERS NAME WAS , VANDERHEIDE.
I WANTED THE FEED RATES TO BE AS NEAR AS POSSIBLE TO THE 12 IN BELSAW PLANER I WAS USING AT THE TIME.
HE TOLD ME THAT HE WOULD CHECK AND SEE IF IT WAS POSSIBLE TO PUT IN LARGER GEARS IN THE GEAR BOX. HE CALLED ME BACK LATER AND SAID HE COULD GET IT TO THE RATES I DESCRIBED.
I MADE ARRANGEMENTS TO PICK THE PLANER UP AT THE FACTORY IN CINCINNATI IN NOVEMBER 1985.
I HAVE THE ORIGINAL BROCHURES AND PARTS LISTS THAT I GOT WITH IT ALONG WITH THE LETTER QUOTING THE PRICE.
I HAVE A SMALL WOOD WORKING BUSINESS THAT I HAVE BEEN OPERATING SINCE 1978 AND AM STILL USING THE PLANER.
