That inrush or nameplate?

I'm not familiar with the terms "inrush" or "nameplate". I've know what
"peak"power is. Is that the same as "inrush"? The plate on the unit states
"Total Amperage: 38". Is that what you mean by "nameplate" perhaps?

If latter, thassa' 10 hp or maybe even greater.

I'm intrigued, what's the planer?

It's an Oliver 4455 planer with Shelix cutter head and has a 7.5hp motor.


Lot bigger than I was figuring, my "old iron" Model 13 is only 5 hp. In
this case, better to go w/ something more on the lines of Lew's
suggestion.
