Did anyone see that skil 100 on ebay today? It went to a very close $1000 bucks. Man, some people got lots of money to blow. I think spending a grand is very over priced for a skil 100.

I have been using a skil for over 35 years and couldn’t live without it.I can see where a pro shaper that makes his living day in and day out with one of these would pay that kind of money.It will last forever if treated right.If you are a part time guy you don’t really need one,there are lots of other planers on the market.Believe it or not some of these planers are being bought by glass suppliers and they are getting up to two grand for em.

I was 15 and decided I wanted to shape surfboards for a living ( or at least until I grew up). My Dad was behind me 110%. He asked “what is the best tool you can get?” I told him a Skil 100. He bouight me the planer (which I still use) but I had to pay him back with intrest. It was 160.00 with a case in 1968. My planer was the best and my Dad was the best. aloha, tom

Three days before he died, we knew it was coming, he only wanted to know if I had enough work. Dad is the best.
