I recently inherited the contents of my step-fathers commercial cabinet shop. I'm keeping a lot of the equipment that I removed, but this is simply way more machine than I can use. The data plate on this planer reads E.A. Lallemand & Sons Nashville, Tenn.  It can handle stock up to sixteen inches in width and six inches in thickness. It weighs well over one thousand pounds and is powered by a five hp, three phase motor that two men can barely pick up. The motor is separate from the planer and bolts to the floor next to the machine. It powers the planer with two belts and the motor moves on the mount (see photo) for belt tension adjustment. There is a separate shroud that covers the drive belts that is not pictured. The cutting head has three blades that are perfect and extremely sharp. As nearly as I can measure, the serrated intake roller is two and one quarter inches in diameter. The smooth discharge roller appears to be the same. The table adjustment and speed adjustment wheels turn freely and the table moves up and down smoothly. The feeder clutch also engages/disengages freely. There is an eighty seven inch long steel ramp with roller bearing steel rollers that bolts to the discharge side of the table. It has a jackscrew height adjustable leg at the other end. The intake side of the table, has an identical ramp that is twenty seven inches long. It is bolted solid to the table and moves up and down with the table as it is adjusted up and down. The planer is equipped with a ducted vacuum chip/dust removal system that is manufactured by the Western Blower Co. in Seattle, Wa. It is powered by its own 230 volt, single phase, one hp motor. This equipment was hard wired into the cabinet shop electrical system, and before we disconnected it, we ran both the planer and blower system. Both ran strong and perfectly smooth. The electric motor/blower for the chip removal system was bolted to a wall mounted platform above and beside the planer. We removed the planer first, and before we removed the blower and second half of the tubing, my brother wanted to see how much suction it created. We powered it up and he stuck his arm into the three foot L shaped tubing leading to the blower fan. It sucked his arm into the tubing up to his shoulder, and he was unable to remove it until we turned off the motor. He thought he was lucky not to have lost his wedding ring! In the photos, this machine looks a little dirty or even rusty. There is no rust and it still has a layer of sawdust on it. I didn't think to clean it up before photographing it as I was busy trying to photograph everything as it came out of the truck. It is gray in color, and will clean up nicely.This item will not be shipped, and is for sale with local pick up only. I reserve the right to end this auction early, as this equipment is also advertised locally. I do have a reserve on this item, but feel that it is reasonably low. Thanks for looking.
