Anyone here ever run one of these machines?

That's a little old planer. It's really old -- much older than the 1917
vertical mill I recently got rid of.

Planers that small fell out of favor as milling machines got better and more
popular. But the really big ones are still in use -- although most of them
have been converted to planer/mills.
