Never saw a machine like this... kind of blurs the lines with it's fixed,
rather than spinning, blade!

Ya think? It reminds me of a four surface planer we had in a mill I
worked in once upon a time. Spit out a ton of shavings. Would'a made
Norm proud.

While you're back there in you time capsule, see if you can find that
Makita vibrating knife thicknesser. It looked a bit like a jointer....
I'd say about 25 years ago?

Oh, and while you're there, find me that brunette on the Toronto
Subway and get her phone number for me, 'k?

Pretty cool. A powered smoother plane. The stock would need to be already
jointed flat and straight, and just needs a finishing pass.


Norm.

Definitely.

Made a single long shaving.

Is it even a contest??? A 1/2 ton, single purpose machine costing at least
$25,000 with a large shop-hogging footprint , vs. a couple of hundred bucks
for a decent, forget that, a *good* hand plane.

Norm. Period.

Definitely Norm!

And he'd do at least two shows on creating an infeed/outfeed table for it.

....and you cannot use the machine with a shooting board which adds a huge
amount of utility to the bench plane. ;~)

This is posted by the solidwoodmachinery guys in Canada. They still
sell this or newer industrial sized versions. I hope to someday soon
buy one of the swing chisel mortisers that they sell (used). I want
one bad!!!

Go to the used machinery page, then the mortiser page and they have a
video. It looks like a download streem so I didn't put a link.

You mean Jennie!?

She used to live in the 416 but once she moved to the 905 I kinda lost touch
.

Bigass Normish hand plane with a conveyor belt on the bottom to push
material through. Pretty cool, but you couldn't hear the "scritch" of
the blade cutting through wood as you used it. D- overall.
