Hello everyone

[inflammable_tom]

Hello, occasional lurker finally joining from sw france.
I'm a carpenter/joiner for work, metalwork for pleasure
My machinery is all old cast iron things I've rebuild- mostly woodworking for now although a lathe and mill could be fun...

Current project is a festo five head tennoner- the cast iron has been rewelded successfully, now ive a few specific electrical questions i'll post a new thread for.

Cheers
Tom

Here we go, latest acquisitions...
A 630mm thickness planer by Guillet.
In good working condition!
Need to make some sticky out things for the hand wheels though, and find out what grease for the gearboxes

There's three motors- 7.5 hp for the cutterhead, then a smaller one for the feed,and another for rise and fall
