Baby planer with hydraulic conversion
I gotta surf Gray's more often. Too late for this one, but may be of passing interest to you machine nuts:
Metal shaper, fabricated, hydraulically driven, 3 phase. (149779-18) Auction (0018-57192) | GraysOnline Australia
I've not seen a planer in Aus before. Not that I've really looked for them...

Thats quite a good fabrication,seems someone has given it a lot of thought.
If you ever see a reasonable size planer you wont miss it would have anywhere from a 10' to 60' plus long table travel.

NEWMAC Equipment Pty Ltd for sales of industrial equipment currently has a planer for sale, it is down the bottom of the milling section.
rare to see them advertised for sale these days... They were well out of date in the sixties (according to an advertisement I have for a retrofitted milling head), well before shapers became obsolete...

In this bench-top size it's hard to see any advantage over a shaper. I'd still give it a home though. Wonder if it will bob up on fleabay.
