My Makita 2030N back on the buy or swap Market

-- Illigitimii non carburundum sum

Can you please provide some specs? Is it wired for 110 or 220 volt? Is the motor dual voltage? What are the widths for the jointer and planer? What is the overall length of the jointer bed? What is the overall height and weight?

I can help a bit with that… here are the specs from the manual:

It’s not a dual voltage motor – it’s a universal brushed motor. I’m not 100% sure, but it should be like the 2030 (which I have two of) where you could either purchase it with a 120v or a 240v motor, but it won’t do both.

Cheers,
Brad

Thanks Brad. Yes it’s 120 volts universal brushed motor.
I lost the Manual a long time ago. It weighs 385pounds as you see it. It has a 6”bed jointer and a 12.5” planer the planer will ro from 5/16” to 6’ the jointer will go from 1/64’ up to 1/8”. On the base it stands about 42” tall. It has about a 48” bed on the jointer.

I lost the Manual a long time ago. [...] the planer will ro from 5/16” to 6 [...]

Just an FYI – Manual can be found here.
And if you want to plane stuff to thinner than 2mm, you can build a simple auxiliary table to fit over the existing one – a 12” wide laminated shelf board from the BORG works well and will let you go down to 1/4” or less. Anything thinner risks blow-out, but that is typical of all planers and depends on what you are sending through it.

Dan,

Too far away LOL! Ive got a good dovetail jig, never used. Did you try craigs’s List? I’ve got both my dust collectors up for sale, but we’ll see?

just got a 2030N from my father its in great shape used some t9 to get minor surface rust off. Looking for the hardwood blocks to set the blades along with the blade holder to sharpen them. Anyone out there have the kit or the dimensions of the block to get knives set correctly. Any one have a video of setting the 2030N? Also have the rollers out for resurfacing. Got lots of projects in mind!

Can’t help with the sharpening jig, but the hardwood blocks I use are about 1 inch square and about 3 inches long. Don’t need to be exact, just flat and long enough to span across the cutter head opening in the casting.

Cheers,
Brad

I see the original post for this was back in 2017 but I’m going to ask anyway. Is this planer still for sale?
