Sure, a planer. I ran one for a while with a 15 ft. bed and that was
hardly a "big" one.

Really quite the thing for producing flat surfaces. We used to bolt
down the table full of table saw tables (a little redundancy there :-)
and make one roughing pass and one finish pass.

Cool! Looks like a very early scraper.

It looks a lot like a Wood, Light and Company planer made about the
time of the Civil War.

Wow that realy is old. The electric motor would have been added
much later. It looks like its complete and nothing is broken off.
To bad its so far away from me, i would like to own it.
Shure would look cute in the shop.

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.

It'd make a dandy base for a CNC bridge mill!

Link does not work for me. does not even look right?

It is terribly formatted. Two open parens, a bang '!', and a $
(lead in for an environment variable in unix, not to metnion the double
tildes. :-)

I could not download it with wget (even with proper quoting to
protect the wierdnesses), but by cut and pasting it into a browser I was
able to get to it -- then save the image with a sane name.

Enjoy,

Windows/Firefox choked either on the $ or the open parens. I cut and
pasted the rest and it came right up. What a PITA!

I grabbed Google's URL shortener and it spits out nice, tiny URLs.
It's a Firefox add-on which puts a little circular G button on the
location bar. I click it, it loads my clipboard, and I can paste it
anywhere. I switched from another shortener (which wasn't updated for
Firefox at the time) and am happy with it.

Yup. Table was about 6' x 16', post WWII, but just.
There were actually WWII and pre-WWII era machines still
in use at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in the early 80s.
Seemed out of place next to the CNCs.

We had about 15 of them where I worked in the early 80's though they were
larger and had been converted into hydraulic tracer mills.

I didn't see any interesting antiques in their machine shop at the
June 2000 open house. They had the biggest lathes I've ever seen,
holding Boomer propellor shafts.
