In there i found a surprise gem of a piece of kit - something i have been after for a long while but also with this one i knew it meant a fair headache as its been stood for such a long time and even the mice made a home in it before we evicted them
what was it --
A fairly vintage elu planer thickneser something i wont use much hence the reason not to buy one but if i could get one for free like this one it is a bonus to have - although i know ime going to have to work on it for a fair while and buy at a minimum some new bearings as the blade drum is stuck fast but i have tonight removed the drive belt and tested the motor which to my surprise is fine everything else is solid with rust and the table raise - lower is solid with rust
but me i like a project a challenge and boy have i got one here but it will be wel worth it and if i had to buy a similar machine it would cost me well over £400 so a good saving as long as its just a few replacement parts needed
only time will tell if it will work out but i dont give in easy so fingers crossed
updates to come
