After seeing the Dan Gelbart 1 micron accuracy air bearing lathe and grinder video that Tekfab linked in Rob's Colchester Student thread, I did a little searching for other Gelbart videos.
This one caught my eye, and I think it's great that not only has he built an amazing high tech CNC machine, but also restored a 150 year old planer. A lot of people own shapers but planers are a rare project. Here it is in action:

Very nice machine!

What a great little machine, haven't seen a planer in action for years. Thanks for showing.
Cheers David

Lovely old machine. Dan Gelbart's other videos serve as proof that he is a real sage and master of his craft....OZ.

Superb lathe :jaw: ... superb machining & craftsmanship involved here :bow: :bow: , I assume all the original build machining was done on another CNC set up :scratch:.. would love to have a 'play' with it. which university is this machinery in, I guess in the USA?

theres another guy on youtube I've watched in the past called Gary Storrick, he has an old planer he has got working. lovely old machine.
