You manage to find the most obscure stuff, Loren. It’s truly amazing. Anyway, I have that issue, and it’s just a two-page review of the Makita and Hitachi. They sold for $2700 back in 1983 when the article was published. It also mentions an “essential” sharpener for $600 to $1500. I assume the prices are for the two brands, but they don’t mention the cost of the Makita sharpener. A web search for the tool turns up a link to a LumberJocks post with a short video of it in action. -- Half of what we read or hear about finishing is right. We just don’t know which half! — Bob Flexner |

What makes these better than a regular planer? |

It has only one fixed blade working as a power fed plane, really a rare power tool, I think it was intended as surface finishing and not as a regular planer as we are used to work with, so you must shave with very thin passes. good luck with finding out a manual. -- the good woodworker feels what the tree wanted to become |

I’ve had one. They are super cool tools. If you have 2 blade for it you can Have a jig made for it that is very simple and accurate. It requires very sharp blades. |
