Comments:

This planer came out of a school in Southern Ohio, but I was told it was originally military surplus. I've had it in service for about 20 years. It is a real workhorse. There are two speeds. The fast is way too fast for my tastes. The gearbox has been braced with angle iron and machine screws. Some cast mounts on ths gearbox appear to have broken off. It's a very heavy duty planer.
