Hi all, has anyone fitted a power feed to a surface planer?I have seen one once on a professional Wadkin and am considering making one from a high torque 10 rpm motor that I have, are there any any pitfalls? I am thinking that a feed speed can be set by the diameter of the wheel as the motor speed is fixed.
I am not sure what wheel to use yet,I have one from a mobility scooter that is pneumatic so tyre pressure could be altered for feed and downward pressure, any thoughts, or am I wasting my time on a frippery?
thanks in advance for any replies
