Today I inherited a large planer I think it's a Delta. At least it says so on the motor. It's a floor model with infeed and outfeed rollers. It's a 220 power supply.
Will this monster have any useful application to bow building? It's really more than I can deal with in the garage but I couldn't say no to a tool!
If I have to sell it what might it be worth?
-
I'd keep it, wire it in, and fire it up. My planer is probably a piece of crap compared to that one.
I use my planer often in bow making.
You should be able to get a feel for its value by doing an online search for the brand and model.

I use mine to square up riser blocks and limb cores before ripping down to dimensions. I crammed a 20 inch planer into my garage, but I also build furniture.

It's worth about a hundred bucks, I'll be out in say .... 11 hours to get it.
Seriously, that is a pretty good sized rig. I wouldn't want to buy it new(or prob used)
Anyway I got no room for one so I will do without.
-
I'll try to get it to where it can be photographed. Don't know the model etcetera but I'll figure it out.

Sounds like a heavy duty one using 220. We have a couple bid ones at our woodshop. I am trying to make a TD riser from Bingham plans. I used ours to make sure the wood pieces were perfectly flat before glue up.

Here's a couple pics and the ID plate. I thought it would be useful in making lams but maybe not. Maybe convert it to $$ and get a thickness sander.
