Thank you Jay, I really appreciate it Jeff

Hello everyone, I was just given a Craftsman Alien Head Planer that I will be refurbishing. I was wondering if someone could tell me which size motor and pulley set up this machine originally used? Thanks!

You did an amazing job on this Hoorn! It’s absolutely beautiful! Now on to the next one 😁

Hey Paul! The motor is a D/C motor and yes, as we know, very heavy! I’ll have to take another look at the repro goose egg but I would like an original. I’m very patient but I do think either one would be a great addition. Oh, I just noticed while I was typing this that the repro is a cast iron...

I’ve also got the long fence guides for it as well.

Thanks buddy, I literally just emptied the dust collector and blew the heck out of it before putting it in storage. Looks really good now. I’ve always kept an eye out for the “golden egg” but not lucky enough yet to find one at my comfortable price point. 😁

I thought I’d take some photos of my Delta Unisaw before I put it in storage while my garage floor is being refinished. It shows up in the background on f some of my other photos but here it is all clean and standing alone.

Nice little history lesson Hoorn. I’m sure Jeremy is very versed on these two Rangers. Jeremy is out now but will always be a Ranger. He’s going through the Sheriffs academy right now in Washoe County Reno where he lives.

This is my Pressteel tool cabinet that I was lucky enough to buy for $30 in my area. I cleaned it up a little and am now using it as a “leg” under my desktop.

I’ll get them over there 👍

Yes, I made it for my son who is an Army Ranger 75th 2nd Batt

Here are some photos of my 1935 Delta 700 Scroll Saw I’ve restored. I’m always amazed at how accurate these old tools are. I’ll include a project I made with this saw too.

Thanks Paul, I’ll keep that in mind 👍 If I did it right I did already post pics of the Pressteel cabinet in the “Show us your toolbox” thread. I love that cabinet, picked it up for $30 in Palo Alto.

I was Wow Tarnished! You’ve got the nack for finding Waldo 😂 I shared photos of the belt sander in a previous post. That one has been much more of a restoration, didn’t look anything like that when I purchased it. The “leg” on the left is my Pressteel cabinet which I believe to have been made...
