I keep thinking what if this thing hits a knot or a nail.

interesting... I was looking on ebay for a planer the other day and one of those machines came up. I studied the pictures close and concluded that it was not a surface planer or it must have been missing parts because I couldn't figure out where the planer head was. After seeing this video, I guess I was wrong. Interesting... thanks for posting.

I remember these machines from some 25 years ago.

They never really seemed to take off - what i was told was that the setup was extremly critical, and the blades had to be razor sharp, sharp would not do.

Im my workshop the planer blades have to do several hours before a change.

This was just a quick video to show some buddies I got the thing working, not a demonstration of a proper production set up. With the camera in one hand and feeding the board with the other, the machine is to fast to get to the other end and catch the board coming out.

the dropping confuses me!

did you fell asleep, or why didn´t you catch that board?
