Hello Gents!

[jscgrey]

G'day gents from north of Ft. Bragg NC. Recently medically retired from active duty after many good years serving my red-white and blue. Now it is time to serve myself some soul food by setting up a woodshop for myself and our ten children. Something I have been wanting to do for decades.

Looking high and low to figure out a particular machine Ishitani uses in his videos. A surface planer that takes of one micro thin continuous shaving prior to final assembly, similar to running a hand plane as a final surface prep vs sanding. Anyone able to tell me what kind of machine this is and if that is available within the US as a single phase unit? If you have not watched Ishitani on youtube, I highly recommend.

Cheers

welcome to the Aussie Woodwork forums. You're WAAAAAAY north of most of us :)

Thanks for serving your country - it's not my country, but that's still a huge thing for someone to do.

Hello,

Welcome to the forum.

Google tells me that the machine is called a "super surfacer".

There's a discussion on the tone ishitani uses at this link.

What tool is this? (https://www.festoolownersgroup.com/other-tools-accessories/what-tool-is-this-53944/)

Regards.

Yes mate, waaaay north. That has never deterred us from fighting shoulder to shoulder though, when need arrises (Two thumbs up). I think of us as kin my brother. We all serve our countries in some fashion if we are good folk, and service to country, the right country, serves I hope, the greater good for others as well. Believe me, I am not going political on you, just reflecting on some history and what our brothers in common have done for us all, around the globe. I appreciate your notice...

Also, as an aspiring woodworker, and one who is finding good things in the Japanese way of woodworking and tools, I noticed you already have heavy access to things Japanese.
