Machine Information
Serial Number:	9780120
Machine Type:	Planer
Machine Description:	18" Planer Model 180
Owner:	Sam Rhodes
Manufacture Date:	1997
Notes:	I bought this machine in an online school auction from Keller, Texas ISD. It had been in use until the new school opened up with new equipment in it and the old school was torn down. It was placed in storage under a tree ( while some really crappy chairs stayed indoors). It has a 5 hp single phase Baldor motor on it. It is a version of this planer that was geared towards schools and lighter use customers called "The Price is Right". It was a stripped down plain jane version.
