You like old tools right? - UK monster.

My technician brought this in today, he's had it for years (he's over 60). Thought you guys would appreciate it.

And its a monster! Started it up ( it still has rubber insulated cable) and it was so quiet, but we were planing 5mm of oak with ease, awesome stuff.

Is it a 6"? Nice looking tool. I wonder just how old it is.

I had a makita 6" planer in 1975. It preformed very well and I thought it was the 1st elec. hand planer that size at the time.

Yeh, 6". It is so lovely though. The box it comes in is better than so many tools now !
