New planer arrived today
Got my new planer today  , really fast service from Wilke Machinery. Ordered it last Thurs, mailed a check Fri and they delivered it today. Kinda hard to beat that service. Will post some pics as soon as I get it cleaned up and tuned. I need to get a straight edge so I can align the cast iron extensions and check the bed roller adjustment. Have to get a new receptacle for the shop since the one on the planer is _ 0 _ configuration. The one I have in the shop for it is a twist lock style. I also have some pics of the shop I am in now and will post them this weekend. I got so much room now, I have to think where I put something. Maybe that is the age factor just kickin in though. LOL

Re: New planer arrived today
Great news Mike, hope the setup goes as well as the ordering process. Can't wait to see the new shop pixs.
Oh yeah, about that avatar. I've seen it so much I don't even think about it. So last nite I asked LOML to check out a post I was reading 
"What are you looking at?" 
"But honey, it's just the woodworker site"

I might end up doing this but the fastest way to get up and running was to just to change the receptacle and breaker. I took a chance and fired it up with the 30 amp breaker just to hear it purrrrrrrr but the mfg. doesn't recommend it. Soooooo tomorrow, I will get the right breaker and let some chips fly.

I thought I was having delusions but must have just been that WG thing causing me to flush. LOL

Re: New planer arrived today
Allright we need to get a truckload of wood together and head over to Wilson. Heard there's a feller up there with a new planer that he wants to show off. |

Re: New planer arrived today
Mike, nice score guy.  I was thinking about the a 15" PM until WG sent me a link to Wilkes and explained that the Yorkcraft is identical to the PM and made in the same factory and is about 1/2 the price of the PM. I guess the only difference between the two is which paint booth it went to at the end of the assembly line. Let us know how you like it.
When I get around to getting mine (Feb?) I will be able to take the money I save and put it towards a drum sander. Speaking of which, does anyone know if Wilkes will have a booth at the WW'ing Show in Charlotte this February?

Re: New planer arrived today
How about a link to Wilkes here? (for those of us too lazy to flip through the 10 million results on Google)...

Re: New planer arrived today
Congratulations on your Yorkcraft 15". Mine arrived last week and the electrician is due tomarrow to set up 220v. I bought the Byrd head installed and I hope it was worth it. Wilke was good to deal with on my 8" jointer also.

Rick, let us know how that Byrd head works out for you. I am planing on getting a 15" Yorkcraft after the first of the year and might decide to upgrade later to the Byrd head.
