    Default Thornley bench saw and planer combination

    Hi all,

    I am looking at selling my late father's Thornley saw and planer that dates back to the late 1940s, I believe.

    It is in perfect working order and has always been undercover in the shed since he bought it new way back then.

    I would appreciate some indication of its value.

    Thanks,
    Paul

    Hi Paul,
    What a cracker of a machine!
    I'll say up front that I don't like to do valuations, unless I have the money to offer
    Looks like it would do real good work. Is the motor 415v / 3 phase? Limits it to a smaller market, ie, those that have that supply or are prepared to do conversions.

    Any chance you could take more close-up photos of the sliding mitre fence? Impressive.
    I think I can find catalogue photos of it and the machine...

    Good luck and good on you for offering it. Deserves a good home.
    cheers,
    AndrewOC
