I was fortunate to have a friend come across an incredible deal on a used 3hp 16" Jet Planer that is 10 years old, and appears to have not been used in many years. There was a lot of surface rust, a few parts missing, and everything was out of calibration. I spent over 10 hours cleaning the rust and attempting to get everything calibrated. I was able to purchase a replacement dust hood, new knives, some bolts and I am just waiting on delivery of the knife gauge tool so that I can get the new knives installed. I expect that there will be some additional adjustments necessary, but all in, I spent around $350...not too shabby for a $1,600 machine!
