Powermatic 20" planer help

[scott9]

Hi everyone, I'm new here and need some help. I bought a powermatic planer from the local highschool a few years ago. It's very old and has no serial numbers or model numbers on it. Does anyone know anything about these? Any help is appreciated, I would like to try and find a maintenance manual if possible.
Thanks
Scott

I would also shoot powermatic and email. Never know what they might be able to provide

Forget contacting Powermatic. They sold years ago to the same conglomerate that owns Jet, Wilton, and others. Just another international corporation making Asian tools now. OWWM is the best place to find our information. You may find old manuals on VintageMachinery. It predates my mid 1960's manuals (all available on VintageMachinery).

Good point, forgot about that.

Thanks for the help guys. Trying to get it going, so I can plane some slabs for a kitchen table. From what I can figure it is pre 1945.
