Some photos of circa 1910 Schneider & Goosmann 36" metal planer. Table mounting surface
is 13"x36" and travel is just over 40". Listed by the company as a 16"x16"x36" planer.
Originally line shaft driven, has been converted to 3 phase AC motor power. Original belt
shifter parts are missing. Used by previous owner to redo small lathe beds, among other
things. Ways and slides are as true as the day it was built. When properly levelled, it
can still hold 0.0001's! I'm in the process of getting it up and running again with the
motor mounted differently, with electronic direction-switching controls, and with nice,
fine levelling mechanisms on the legs.
