Nice planer as well! That four post design is how most professional planers are still made today. Now you get the joys of sharpening and setting planer blades. Last I checked, Grizzly was having a sale on dial indicators. $20 and it comes with the magnetic base/adjustable arm. It's important to get all the blades as close to the same height as possible.

Nice table. That planer looks like a real good old one from when tools were made in the USA. A dust hood and hookup to a collector is a good investment for a planer. :)
