Big bucks for shiny Skil 100…http://www.ebay.com/itm/Skil-Model-100-Planer-/141668588502?&_trksid=p2056016.m2518.l4276
Yeah makes it plane faster. Buy mine for $700. Not super shiny buy restored and refurbished by Pete C.
Saw that 2 Ace!
Cool
Know you don’t live in FLA!
Musta been some gloryhound carpenter or someting.
Bling don’t mean a thing.
Me?
I look
but only “type 5”
Lowell? LOL
Damn! almost forgot
No big deal
ACE your last post
rung a bell
finally found photo
Cere way back
A little of this a little of that mix it all up and see what happens.
There’s been one sitting at Basham’s for two years on consignment. Course it is neither shiny nor refurbished by Pete. $800. Hope you ground or filed the edges on yours when you cut it off Matt.
Not my 1st tail bobbing.
Always knock off edges all way round.
Help’s eliminate the dreaded flip and gouge
Foam and digits.
Much Aloha Lowell
I like the vodoo
you do
Based on the info in the link below, I don’t think that seller is gonna get anywhere near $1200
No absolutely NOT! Everything on Ebay at the moment is top of the market or over priced. For instance; people think Type 5 is the $#!ts. But-- the motor, wiring etc is of poorer quality than the early model types. I’ve never seen a Type 5 cutter head/blade assembly, but it doesn’t sound like I would ever want one. Is one thing to be able to say I own a Skil 100 therefore I am a shaper and another thing to quietly go to work with it.
Lowel,
Bummed I missed you on Sat.
I was there all day too.
Ghetto said you were there, but never saw you.
Wanted to check out your planer.
Not that I need another one.
Wife would say I need that like another hole in the head.
Just addicted to planers.
I’m sure if Pete touched it, Im sure it’s top notch.
Yeah I slept in my van at the rest area at Las Pulgas after spending Fri with Terry and the Rat. Cruised Carlsbad,Encinitas. Etc. after breakfast in O’side. By the time I got to the Fairgrounds I had to BM so bad I was one of the 1st in the door. Was in such a hurry that I didn’t take the planer in with me. By noon or 1:00 PM. I was ready to head out. I’ll be in and out of Cal for the next month or so and will have to go to O’side at least once in that time frame. If I still have it I will make sure I have it with me and maybe you can get a look at it. It is sweet and the fact that it is Pre Type I is a plus. Pete said it was “Rare”. Mahalo Barry-- lowel
