Found in Smith Lumberyard millwork shop, Fall River, Mass. Recently restored & put into use. A little more complex than average planers having double in & outfeed rollers, double in & out bed rollers, not driven, and two speed cone pulley feed roller drive that allows change of feed rate at any time during operation. Reproduction color & details, had been painted over black when found. Having restored and used three other planers of this vintage the S.A. Woods addresses the demands for precision in furniture and cabinet panel planing.
