Re: thickness planner
There is a thread about converting to a hand crank. Mine is manual and I like it. It allows you to control the feed rate which I like. I will see if I can find the thread .....
Found it .... http://www.shopsmith.com/ss_forum/maint ... 16009.html

That motor 'on the side' would be a feed motor, not the cutter motor.
Actually the 500 1 1/8hp motor is under powered for the 12" planer.
You may have the model that was hand fed by a crank where the feed motor mounts.
One side will have the drive shaft for the cutter, and the opposite side will have a cover that holds either the motor or the hand crank. A pix of that cover would be helpful.

You can upload a pic from your iPhone, but you may need to crop the photo to make it small enough to upload.scorelesssteve wrote:i cannot upload a pic from my iphone to the post

Re: thickness planner
Describe the cover on to which the motor would mount. Tell us the hole(s) pattern. One hole or 5(excluding the cover mounting holes).scorelesssteve wrote:and that box also
