    Default Grandfathers Old Woodfast planer & Table saw sadly must go!

    Hope this is the right place to post...

    I have nowhere for them... 6" Woodfast 1200mm long planer plus Table saw (I cannot identify make), age? no idea but needs a new home... both just removed from previous employers workshop, now stuck in my trailer under a tarp. Very light dusting of surface rust hence they need cover ASAP.

    I remember them for years in my grandfathers garage and them having little use as he only made the odd jarrah coffee table. I inherited them several years ago after his passing and they have been used a few times by me but only very light work. Both are true & solid on timber stands with 240volt single phase motors.

    I really need advice on how much they may be worth to someone... maybe a museum! hahaha... i'm sure i saw a discussion on older woodfast gear but for the life of me I cant find it.

    Anyhow i'll try & post a pic or two & maybe someone can throw a little advice my way. I'll update table saw measurements in a little while.

    Cheers, Mike

    Pity I don't have a workshop for all of my toys! But someone will have so best they are used & cared for as they should be. My kids are flying to Melb for Xmas... maybe they could drag/sneak it on with hand luggage Getting it into the overhead locker might be an issue

    G'day MiceyB
    I happen to have Woodfast 6" Jointer as your grandfather had. If you were able to sell it, would you be willing to tell me for how much you finished up selling it for? I want to sell mine also because I need the space. Cheers.
