I have a 16” Makita 2040 that I’m just finishing up restoring. new polyurethane rollers, Cleaned up, greased, new parts where required/ bearings etc… I’ll be setting it up this week and looking to have it move on to someone who can get some good use out of it. Looks about as close to new as you’ll find on one of these. I’ll post pictures tonight, Looking to get around $1000 for it, but will take offers. Its located in Haverhill, Ma, and due to weight reasons will be local pickup only. If you contact me through this forum I’ll PM you my phone number so you can call and ask questions. -- Newman |

2 camera phone pictures since all I have with me today is the phone. I can take better ones if there is interest. -- Newman |

Hi, Newman: i just joined Lumberjocks because i found your Makita 2040 planer for sale. i was looking at the various portable “lunchbox” planers when my friendly local tool repair folks suggested that this one is way better. i am now looking for the right opportunity to add one to my collection. rac |

Thanks for the info. I’ve got the new feed rollers back in and things are running nicely on the machine. I have the factory manual that I used to adjust the springs to spec Indiana with a 508 area code? I’m in Mass with a 508… interesting -- Newman |

I know this was an old post but I would like to ask if you remember where you got the shop manual. I bought an old 2040 that needs a little work |
