Scored this .
Motor and housing only.
Searching for a base to mount it to.
Type 5 7.5 amp.
Like new.
It will be used.
My planers aren’t for show or decoration.
Beautiful machines but there’s no use owning them if you’re not going to run em.
That’s a nice score, someone must have a planer with a spent motor that you can drop that type 5 onto, maybe next time Pete does the last rights on one he’s working on.
Way to use that pretty Rockwell Gene.
I should use mine more.
They are truly the mowers of the planer world.
I guess that as a shaper who uses an electric planer,
I feel like one of those old men craftsmen these days.
Glad I’m not alone.
And in good company!
The funny thing is…
most “shapers” have one in their shaping room.
It just has an inch of foam dust on it from non-use.
On Surfer Mags. forum,
they call me the “Planer Snob”.
You either make dust or eat dust
Oops, double post.
Barry- dont know what you wanna spend or how badly you wanna get that mounted up but I juat saw one up on ebay. I think it was around 100 bucks… seems kinds steep.
I have a long base, in search of a motor. Would you consider selling your parts? Dollars, plus some gun templates? Are you tempted?

He needs a lot more parts than just the foot though. oldtoolguy is a great source to get a part that you really need, I’ve gotten a cutterhead and a few other items from him, Barry’s motor is from him and also the foot you mention. But if you bought all the individual parts then the frankenstein planer would total about $2000, and some the parts would even be reunited. The tough part is getting a matching type 5 cutter head for it since they’re rare, any Skil 100 head will work though. I bet oldtoolguy parts out about one skil a month and fixes up and sells another one a month. He must get a shitload of dead Skils somehow. Not a fan of the way he quickie sands and polishes parts, I’d rather just receive the item as-is.
I’ve been eyeballing his Draw Knife.
Man Bill, indeed I am tempted.
However I really want to get a second Skil going.
My was down for a bit.
I’ve been shaping those thick Rusty blanks lately.
Two passes with the Skil, or several with the Bosch. As my Skil takes 1/4" off when needed.
I have bought a few parts from http://www.ebay.com/usr/oldtoolguy2001.
He has a some parts I need if I don’t find some elsewhere.
Maybe PeteC can help.
I would love to get my hands on some of those gun templates Bill!
The same guy you got this motor from (Oldtoolguy) has a base it’s probably the one it was originally on. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Skil-planer-plane-100-part-10604-Foot-Painted-/151257943097?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2337ad0c39
Gene, scored this old Draw Knife at the Oceanside swap meet.
Payed $5 for it.
Took it back to the shop and gave it to Kevin, my knife sharpener buddy.
He put a blade so sharp you could split a hair.
Patent date on it says 1885.
Pretty cool.
Bitchen, like the adjustable handles! “Careful with that knife sonny” (Ward Bond)
I’m looking for replacement belts for a Skil 100 type 2. Will a type 3 or 4 belt fit a type 2 planer? Is there any difference in belt sizing or teeth spacing on the different belts? WIll a Bosch 2610010625 belt work? Any info would be great. Thanks
Yes to your question…even to the Bosch belt. They are being sold on ebay, as compatable with the Skil 100.
Bill
You can get them here. Don’t know if the Bosch belt will work. You can usually find one on eBay too.
Bosh owns Skil, they’re all Bosh parts now. Unless you ge new old stock.
Gene, Finally finished the restoration of the 190 I bought back last October. The badge is right side up serial # A-731740
That 190 cleaned up real nice.
I’ve got my hands on more dated brochures and have determined that the first skil planer was the homebuilders series 676 introduced in 1952 and the 190 in 1954, then the 100 in 1955.
This on is the latest edition to my herd. A Blue Light Special probably from the 60’s.
Good stuff Gene.
I’m envious of your planer collection!
Putting a new vac port set-up on my Type 5 this week.
Another great addition to Pete’s planer line.
So far so good.
Opened her up @ full cut today (1/4").
No clog.
Looks like a winner.
