Title: Planer
Post by: Klicker on May 05, 2015, 06:17:56 AM
Yesterday I took a drive one and half hours to look at a planer. My thought had been to break it down and put it in the trunk of my Jetta.  But a20 inche planer does not fit. There was a couple of other guys there buying some other stuff we got talking and it was another sawyer from near me so he offered to put it on his truck. So I am off with my trailer to get it soon. Photos soon. It will need some cleaning.  8)

No Photos yet I got it home last week. It is outside covered with two tarps I uncovered it yesterday and started to clean it up. Any ideas on the best way to clean rust off deck and rollers It needs  blades resharpened  and a new set as I have to send them out to be sharpened. I had planed to put it in my shop but decided to build a 8x8 shed with doors on each end so I can run what ever I want through it. Rod

My uncles planer is 240 volt and so it kinda dictates where it is used with out updating the electric.

This is also 240 it just means more wire. I will most likely run hot water heat also it will be with in ten feet of my shop. Rod

A 20" planer in a Jetta is a mis-match any way you twist it.  Regards, Clark

Sealark37 would you believe a few people that know me think I push the limits on some things try. You might be amazed at what will fit when you take them a part and use seabelt to hold them in place. I might not have bought it if there was not a truck going my way so it must have been meant for me to have. Rod
