A Rockwell-Invicta, model RC-63, 24" planer is for sale locally. Any opinions on this planer? Weak points, things to look out for? It has a 7.5 HP 3 phase motor on it.

I have looked at buying one of those a number of times. Usually they sell for more than I am willing to pay. I watched one sell at auction for more than new price.

The main drawback for those is they never made one with a segmented in feed. That means that if you are pushing many rough boards into the machine, you can only feed one at a time or the thinner one will not feed right.

Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
