I had to show off my newest acquisition. Picked up an old Rockwell 22-650 planer from a guy on Craigslist. I replaced the knives, greased it, and dialed it in. It works great! If I ever have to move it again, I’ll get someone with a tractor to help. Still not sure how I managed to muscle all 400+ lbs of it into the basement by myself. I was dumb enough to try that once but not enough to do it twice.
Congratulations! When I moved a few weeks ago I had to sell my old crappy table saw. My new one is used but very much an upgrade. After moving it (almost 300 lbs), I started thinking if I ever move again it stays with the house. Deep down I know I’m not smart enough to remember the misery and that’s why I’m doomed to repeat it.
What kind of knifes did you put in?
I got a set of cheapies from FoxBC. We’ll see how long they last. Next time I’ll probably spring for Freud’s.
Think how hard it will be to get the tractor down there.
Very nice! Out of curiosity, what sort of input power does this require? I presume it’s not a three-phase appliance, but probably needs 240 VAC?
