Second biggest

[Darcy Warner]

24" Yates American direct drive, 10hp 4 knife head.

Almost as big as my 30" American, but nothing is smoother than the old 30" Babbitt American.

I will try to line up my 16" and 24" next to my 30" make a nice Christmas card. 392720

I was expecting a story about something bigger than the planer that even with extra ballast had your fork lift trying to run on two wheels.

BTW that is a very nice 3 toe.

That’s pretty cool.:cool:

Just wait, I have to pick up a swedish 43" 2 head widebelt sander. Lol

Darcy, did Yates run a 6" head on the 24" like Porter or smaller? Dave

It's a 4 1/4" head, 4 1/2" cutting circle.

Nice solid looking machine.

I had a couple of 24" German made ones a few years back W. Klein and sohne I had a 24" jointer, and a 24" combination machine, i remember when i went to get my jointer seeing a jointer that made mine look small, i am not sure how big it was but for sure 30" and it looked massive. Nothing nicer to work on than a huge, rock solid jointer.

I look forward to seeing all three of your machines side by side.

I keep looking at my 6" Jointer and your "second biggest" beast. Like a tabby cat lookin at a Bengal Tiger. Then I hear Crocodile Dundee say "That ain't a jointer. THIS is a Jointer!"

That's one heck of a sweet machine Darcy.

I have a 63cm Schwabedissen jointer that I need to put a different head in. That thing is a hunk of iron.

You'd almost want to put those puppies on a big wedge so the work would have gravity to assist moving it over the cutter.

Neat toys to say the least.

If I ever need a place to make an emergency landing, I know where to go. :)

[Mark Hennebury]

I thought i had seen it before.

The Schwabby. 392747392748392749

[Andrew Hughes]

Very cool machine jointers are my favorite woodworking machine. How does it cut ? Is it better at heavy surfacing on rough planks can it also do fine work like Oliver’s.

[Darcy Warner]

They all make boards flat, that's really all I care about.

The schwabby left a glass smooth surface running 6k rpm. I just couldn't be sure about the whole bladder system that held the knives in so it's going to get a new head.
