I purchased this Strait-O-Plane from Classic American Hardwoods in Memphis, TN. It was surplus equipment from the consolidation of Memphis Hardwood Flooring, Inc. and Jorgensen-Bennett Manufacturing (kiln and concentration yard).

It was used to rough size and starighten hardwood lumber prior to final dressing in a Yates-American double-sided planer.

It will now me used to rough size and straighten slabs from city trees sawn on my Woodmizer LT-30.
