I just love the joys of keeping my shop running. Yesterday afternoon with temps in the mid 90's, I was trying to get some wood planed.
Yup you guessed it----Dang planner broke down. The DC drive motor's gear box failed.
I spent some time taking her apart this morning and she's dead. I bet they just give those away.

Gary,

Surely you have an ADZ and a hand plane?? Should work just fine at 95 degrees!

Hang in there
Tom
 
Gary, I'm pretty sure they give the kind you have away. The nice good working one. well now those are spensive.

Ken , between bandsaw blades, light blubs and things breaking it's no wonder I am always broke. Oh--I also need to order more PR.

Gary, I'm so looking forward to coming to your place, between the two of us we should be able to destroy the entire town :biggrin::biggrin:
 
I hope you are able to get it fixed at a reasonable price. That looks like a really good old machine and if it's repairable, it should far outlast any of the new stuff. Good luck
 
Woodmaster is the best! Wonderful customer service and fair pricing. Also made in America! Will Johnson owns both Woodmaster and Timberking and I am a proud owner of 2 of their machines, a Timberking 1220 and a Woodmaster 718. Never had a bad dealing with them.
 
Gary, I'm glad you are able to breath life into the beast. The older power tools really are a much better quality than most of the junk out there today.
 
Andy,

Gary's model may be a little order but Woodmaster still makes them basically just like his. Mine is 4 years old and looks the same except for the color.

That is good to know! I need a planer and I don't really like the looks of the Dewalt for the money. So, I can, perhaps afford an older Woodmaster as still be assured of getting parts. Off to Craig's list!

Cutis ------try 12 years old, you are right about thier service.
I wish I had a nickel for every board foot of lumber that's been through my planner.
 
Yeah, I sure like mine. I use it more for moulding than planing, though. I ran 2,000 linear feet of custom moulding for a home I finished last year. The owner did not like any of the commercially available window and door trim so I custom designed a profile myself and had the knives ground for it. I also ran 1,500 linear feet of custom baseboard out of Jatoba to match a mesquite floor. Pretty versatile machines!
