<hr />
<div>Jesse brought in a Parks 95 12" surface planer, on 03/16/2016. This is a ~280 lb machine, probably manufactured in the 30s or 40s (we'll know more if we can clean up the plate with the serial #). It is cosmetically in bad shape, and has one small operating problem that should be resolvable.<br />
<br />
It's not yet been decided whether this tool will get a top-to-bottom overhaul or just be touched up for usability. This page will be used to track resources with repair information, and to document the process of cleaning it up.<br />

<br />
<br />
== Usability ==<br />
The planer is somewhat operational now. However the pickup roller (infeed roller) is not successfully pulling boards through the cutter. The fifth link below is for a thread where a similar problem with an identical planer is being discussed, and there are several suggestions we can try there without a full teardown. Anybody is welcome to attempt work on this, if you'd like a working planer or you're just bored. Things we can try (but haven't yet) include:<br />
* Confirm that the bed rollers are positioned high enough to support the board rather than having it rest entirely on the bed itself<br />
* Attempt to lower the position of the infeed roller itself - this would be a delicate process, since it's important that the roller height is not lower than the cutting height<br />
* Further clean the bed - using steel wool, then sandpaper up to 1000 grit<br />
* Once clean, apply a layer of non-silicone wax to the bed<br />
<br />
<br />
== Planned improvements ==<br />
* Build a replacement stand<br />
* Install a hinged motor mount for belt tensioning<br />
* Add a belt guard<br />
* Add a starter switch<br />
* Machine a replacement pickup roller on the lathe / mill<br />

<div>Jesse brought in a Craftsman 4" jointer on 03/16/2016. This tool has been in a barn for a couple decades and will need significant work to be truly operational. However the basic functionality is there - the motor runs and the blades cut.<br />

<div>Jesse brought in a Craftsman 4" jointer on 03/16/2016. This tool has been in a barn for a couple decades and will need significant work to be truly operational. However the basic functionality is there - the motor runs and the blades cut.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Usability ==<br />
The jointer needs a fair bit of work before it can be effectively used:<br />
* Remove rust from bed, with oil + steel wool, then sandpaper from course up to 1000 grit<br />
* Research the fence, figure out how it's supposed to provide rigidity, and fix it<br />
* Replace the belt<br />
<br />
<br />
== Planned improvements ==<br />
* Replace the stand<br />
* Install a hinged motor mount for belt tensioning<br />
* Add a belt guard<br />
* Add a starter switch<br />
<br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>Jesse brought in a Parks 95 12" surface planer, on 03/16/2016. This is a ~280 lb machine, probably manufactured in the 30s or 40s (we'll know more if we can clean up the plate with the serial #). It is cosmetically in bad shape, and has one small operating problem that should be resolvable.<br />
<br />
It's not yet been decided whether this tool will get a top-to-bottom overhaul or just be touched up for usability. This page will be used to track resources with repair information, and to document the process of cleaning it up.<br />
<br />
<br />
== A note on usability ==<br />
The planer is somewhat operational now. However the pickup roller (infeed roller) is not successfully pulling boards through the cutter. The fifth link below is for a thread where a similar problem with an identical planer is being discussed, and there are several suggestions we can try there without a full teardown. Anybody is welcome to attempt work on this, if you'd like a working planer or you're just bored. Things we can try (but haven't yet) include:<br />
* Confirm that the bed rollers are positioned high enough to support the board rather than having it rest entirely on the bed itself<br />
* Attempt to lower the position of the infeed roller itself - this would be a delicate process, since it's important that the roller height is not lower than the cutting height<br />
* Further clean the bed - using steel wool, then sandpaper up to 1000 grit<br />
* Once clean, apply a layer of non-silicone wax to the bed<br />
