Viewed at Subiaco Abbey, Subiaco, Arkansas. The monks tell me this was one of the last Parks 12" planers made. It looks like a mini version of a large one. In fact, the interface between the small machine and the motor of a full size machine was so consistent that they attached the 5hp motor of a full size to this one.

Comments: motor setup. 5hp motor from a full size planer on a 12" benchtop. The motor weights as much as the machine.
