I had to show off my newest acquisition. Picked up an old Rockwell 22-650 planer from a guy on Craigslist. I replaced the knives, greased it, and dialed it in. It works great! If I ever have to move it again, I’ll get someone with a tractor to help. Still not sure how I managed to muscle all 400+ lbs of it into the basement by myself. I was dumb enough to try that once but not enough to do it twice.
I got a set of cheapies from FoxBC. We’ll see how long they last. Next time I’ll probably spring for Freud’s.
But is it still using flap knife clamping? That’s incredibly dangerous.
What is a flap knife clamp?
