Dan this is going to be excellent content. I am certainly looking forward to it. Thanks for bringing us along.

Wow, you are one of the first people who have an actual use for a vintage machine. Good luck I think you will do well with this.

Love this format. Not a lot of fanfare, just talking about old machines. Looking forward to this unit getting turned up and running. Thank you for the video and your sharing.

As soon as I saw the casting and then the input shaft I knew it was a Planer. 👍👍

First time seeing your channel!  I grew up in southwest suburbs of Chicago…still work there everyday!

Last year I had to scrap the 24”x14’
Cincinnati Planer Co planer that had been in service in our shop since 1950 due to downsizing. Had a Bridgeport head on it for keying big shafts. Worked great. Hated to see it go. (And, don’t tell dad, but I put a cup wheel on the milling head, and did a little grinding)

It’ll be interesting to see this come together and to see your results.

I'm keen to see how well the old girl has held up!

Wow awesome find.
Very high ranking on the cool factor chart.
Thanks for sharing Dan !

I’m looking forward to this new series. Can’t wait for your next video on his planner.

A planer in your business is a good think to have. Single point planing tables and saddles for rebuild IMHO is a much better way to machine cast iron parts. Grinding however with an old planer I have never encountered, It should work, I have seen people mount milling  heads to them and make a planer mill that works, so grinding should as well. I am very interested in this project. sounds interesting.

Sweet! I'll bring the bed for the 10" South Bend with me next year. lolz.

Can’t wait to see you attempt this.

Good luck! We’re waiting to see more of it.

A planer! How cool is that? Way to go! Time will tell if you can resist the temptation to do a KV on the planer and totally rebuild it. What did Rucker do, 87 weeks on his planer rebuild? Hope you get way more use out of your planer than he gets. Congratulations and envy ..

Cool! Looking forward to seeing it work.

BRILLIANT......................................................

Dude that’s so sick! i’ve been trying to find one for a minute now. I found a smaller planer but the bed was missing. What a heart breaker it was. It’ll happen at some point but i dream til then lol.

New here. Love the opening. Music for my brain

Looking forward to it!
