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. 20180902_201433.jpg

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.
Of all the laws Brandolini's may be the most universally true.
Deep thought for the day:
Your bandsaw weighs more when you leave the spring compressed instead of relieving the tension.
That’s pretty cool.

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

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.
I thought i had seen it before.

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.
