Just had a look (and a play) on this old Wilson Planer. Hopefully going to get it next week, just waiting for the Three Phase power issue to be sorted in the workshop. It would obviously be great to have a perfectly calibrated new machine, but where do you stop? A £1000 Jet machine, double that for a good Sheppach, or a big SCM at 10K. No, this is the machine. It just looks and feels like it wants to work, its simple, ridiculously well made and has a real sense of history. Imagining the work it has initiated is quite inspiring.
Just the minor problem of transportation (then positioning in the workshop), we reckon it weighs well over a ton.
