From ebay auction with start bid of $800. Much nicer condition than the other planer like this I saw.
27 inch wood planer, it has a cutting depth of 7 inches. This machine was made by The Frank H Clement Co. It was built to last as you can see, the gears are still in GREAT condition . This machine is powered by a 30 hp General Electric three phase motor. There are a few pieces broken but with the exception of one handle they are all safety covers. The handle can bee welded back. The motor is the only part of this machine that I cannot tell you much about as I do not have the required three phase power. There are SIX sets of cutting blades one picture shows the extra sets with one set on the machine. I don?t know the exact weight of this machine but it is extremely heavy.
