No, the symptom described isn't snipe -- that's the end-effect from a rocking table or dropping the exit end resulting in taking off more material from the end few inches. OP says it "skips" irregularly -- sounds like bad feed rollers, misadjusted feed pressure combined, perhaps, with dull blades causing extra cutting work. Never had one of the "lunchbox" planers so don't have any real hands on advice for OP on them...have only "big iron" old Rockwell/Powermatic units which aren't at all comparable in adjustments/setup, unfortunately for that purpose. -- |

He did mention that he had a bad link in the chain, and now it runs ok. That would sure explain the "skip". |

This is the little guy; the PM-180 is all gear-driven with a matched set 3-pulley drive.

Not actually mine, but same machine... http://vintagemachinery.org/photoindex/detail.aspx?id=13838 The PM is quite a lot heftier yet...but don't need more than 13" a lot of the time. The one I have came from a furniture manufacturing facility where they had 27(!) of them arranged in 9 rows of three--each was set precisely to process arriving stock to specific final thickness in the three passes. These were replaced with a set of 6 of the PM Model 180s in an attempt in the mid-70s to cut manpower overhead and remain viable. Unfortunately, the moved only staved of the inevitable by maybe 10 years or so. -- |

And then for a short time since then you could order one of several colors, some with flames. Geez...

I coveted the Model 66 from the old codger's shop in Lynchburg I've talked about and got by with the old DeWalt RAS until could finally swing it instead of doing something lesser and being dissatisfied. I truly wanted a Model 26 shaper but got the little 1/2" spindle Delta as a starter and eventually found the above Walker-Turner cheap. Those were days long before the router was what they are today, of course. -- |

Yeah I recall one of the golds looking kind'a like what I thought as being not as attractive as the current gold. I'll not mention what I really called it. ;~) So yours is absolutely from the the old school bullet proof models I would imagine. IIRC pictures of old PM trunions being almost intimidating. Is yours massive? I really recall them being huge compared to the more modern PM trunions.

I've thought of repainting it to the modern gold but am sure never will I don't know of any place to get the old color but I suspect part of the reason this generation were as dark as they were was that they all wear a green "primer" coat! As for "massive" trunnions, they're hefty, certainly, but "they are what they are" in judging as I've not really compared to anything newer. I've never seen one of the new generation other than in pictures so can't really comment. I know the total weight is at least comparable, but that's all I can say. Actually, on reflection, the 66 is by far and away the newest of the large iron pieces I've got--both planers and jointer date from 60s/70s and the shaper is early to maybe mid-50s. I regret it but I passed on bringing an old (1930s) Crescent 24" jointer that was offered from one of the TVA shops when we came back to the farm... http://www.vintagemachinery.org/phot...es/16979-A.jpg -- |

About a year go I was going through my dad's old paperwork and records. I believe I am going to keep a particular one. It was a change of ownership license receipt from Oklahoma. This receipt is dated 1949 for the purchase of a 1941 Buick. ;~) Do you recall when receipts had a spot for the date and certain certainties were preprinted? Like 194_, and you fill in the 9. |

So that Mustard Yellow must'a been the tint that caught my eye originally. And 1977 Cadillac Gold! PEA Green! I absolutely remember all of that. LOL I always thought that the new gold kind'a had a greenish brownish cast to it. Now let's talk about your hoarding problem. LOL... I'm just pulling your leg! About a year go I was going through my dad's old paperwork and records. I believe I am going to keep a particular one. It was a change of ownership license receipt from Oklahoma. This receipt is dated 1949 for the purchase of a 1941 Buick. ;~) Do you recall when receipts had a spot for the date and certain certainties were preprinted? Like 194_, and you fill in the 9. Is this it, the color? http://www.contractortalk.com/attach...planer-001.jpg And more recently, the flames.. http://twwcdn.thewoodwhisperer.netdn...s/dsc02250.jpg |

And thanks for clearing up the green to gold to green to gold models. |

I knew _something_ wasn't right on that picture; it dawned on me -- mine has chromed wheels instead of the black. The decal in that picture looks almost black; it's really the dark green w/ red and white stripes-- http://www.johngweber.com/jgw/saws/o1102b.jpg It's kinda' fun; agreed it isn't important... I've got some tasks I really want to finish up today (the stand for the Tormek being one, I ran out of time yesterday afternoon to finish the drawer for the accessories before cleaning up to go to town for the local community college ball games and it's still too cold this morning) so just piddlin' for a little while before church... -- |

Oh, that's nothin', Leon! There's the original loan receipt from 1913 my grandfather and his brother took out for $300 to buy the pair of mules and other homestake gear when they made the big move from Stafford County (KS) to the place here the following year. I've also got copies (nearly pristine condition) of the owners books for the old McCormick-Deering 10-20 http://www.tractorshed.com/photoads/upload/341393_opt.jpg and the old Twin City 20-35. Don't think (fact am certain ) grandpa ever pulled three binders at a time, but we still used an identical one through the early 60s...it finally was sold to a Mennonite farmer when Dad had his retirement sale in the early '90s; had been out in the shed ever since. http://www.digitalhorizonsonline.org/cdm/singleitem/collection/uw/id/3891/rec/1 And that's just a bare sampling of the "stuff" that's still around... -- |

My uncle gave me a book on proper maintenance of a vehicle and how to properly drive a vehicle, back in the early 70's when I was learning to drive. He kind'a grinned when he handed it to me, he got it from his dad. I clearly remember that the operator of a vehicle should regularly check and oil as needed the leather clutch plate on the transmission. Further it advised that only a "show off" would attempt to drive up an incline on a road with out downshifting. Those were different times. ;~) |
