i have the planer on a mobile base. i have the motor off, upon inspection it runs fine but it has a bad bearing on the drive side. it gets hot after a few minutes of running. the planer does work very well.
i have been working on a microwave stand for the kitchen.
i picked up the 16 inch planer (powermatic E-16) i got off ebay today. it took about 20 seconds to put it in the truck with a fork lift and 3 hours to get it out, and into the shop. it weighs about a 1000lbs. it seems to be complete and in working order, i have not fired it up yet.
in the shop
i sold the old Powermatic lathe today for $300. making room for new tools.
i have been working on some shelves for the kitchen. an upper set for storage, and a lower set as an art wall for the kids.
