To date I have been using an Arrow 2030 (Makita 2030 under Arrow brand). The Arrow is a combination planer/jointer I p/u for free which had the cast motor mount broken off and missing. I mounted a motor underneath it and fabricated a pulley to match the 8 V head pulley and 7000 rpm specs. It has "worked" better than no planer but I truly needed wanted another.
Kept waiting and waiting but finally found a Powermatic 221. Made in USA, 1966, little use, good shape. 5HP, 3 phase, 20". Finally be able to plane some of the big RO boards I've been air drying for three years.
