Does anyone know where the best place to buy woodmaster planer/molder parts would be?  I am looking at the dealer site, but was wondering if anyone knows of another avenue like "aftermarket" etc.?
Thanks,

Weswire i have the 18" woodmaster and i buy my moulding knifes at a place for half of the dealer cost. There
are a couple of outher places that sell knifes. As for parts i don't know of any place that does. Not sure what
parts you are looking for. If i can help i live close to Woodmaster and can see if they have any used parts.

Any particular parts you need ? Just about any part on that machine is readily available at any industrial supplier. I know of one guy who busted the planer head, and I managed to break a molding knife holder. Both cases were er "operator induced ". Support from woodmaster is excellent. I make my own molding knives with a homemade setup.

I buy my planer blades & profile knives from moldingknives.com. Not sure about parts, I usually go to woodmaster for that.
Have a great day

Thanks for the info.  I'm not sure what I need just yet, I'm going to try it out this week I hope.  There is a roller in place now, and the previous owner said he bought it at auction, and hasn't tried it at all.  I did get some knives with it, and he also gave me a "sanding shaft", with some extra sand paper.  I'd like to use it to cut material to correct width, and I'm not sure if that requires a separate roller to hold the blades.  I suppose I should try and locate a brochure of this model, in order to find out how it works.  Do you think it is "self explanatory", or is a brochure a necessity?

You should hve a shaft with planer blades & a thinner diameter shaft for the saw blades for ripping.

The saws, sanding drum, and molding head all mount on a hefty steel shaft with a full length keyway. The sanding drum uses a larger, single groove pulley with a longer belt. The planer head is a bit different. It mounts on 2 tapered stub shafts held in place by through bolts. Be aware that the through bolt on the pulley end is LEFT HANDED threads. I have the 18 inch version, the only failure has been a broken feed roller pulley (casting flaw)

I hate to be a pain in the neck, but could you send pics of the shafts?  I've got two shafts, but not too sure of which does what.     I'll guess I should call woodmaster tomorrow and see if they have books for the older machines.  I really do appreciate your help and info.
Thanks, thanks, again.
