Please assist with identity and age of this unique planning machine.
The machine in question is a very unique cast iron planner that has a main planning function plus an outboard curved planning facility.
Please see the attached photos.

What an interesting machine. With that curved profile on the front I wonder if it was built for a specific reason like making wooden wheels?

This is a beauty. You might want also to post your query to the OWWM.org web site in the USA. They love pix of older and uncommon woodworking machines and have some members from your part of the world.

Funny, thought I'd seen it before, similar but not a perfect match, it's late here, probably more catalogues to search, but it's a start ..

Matty - its funny that you pulled something from Haigh's catalogue, as my T&R Lees spindle moulder uses a similar rosette handwheel (raise lower) to that shown at the back of the fence above

Now here's something interesting ...taken from current (21 Mar 2023) ebay advert for T. & R. Lees Catalogue No.40 (circa 1922)
WOODWORKING MACHINERY CATALOGUE No. 40, T. & R. LEES LTD c. 1922 | eBay
Note the mention of "felloe planing attachment" (the curved table used by a wheelwright) and mounting points to the front apron, the trenched table and (obscured) in the image above, the extended pad to the rear of the pedestal at the floor line providing support to the hub morticer (dividing attchment).

Thanks John, that is interesting!
I love the catalogue, one of the ones l don't have, and the price is just a little steep. Melbourne Matty.

Not sure why a 1922 catalogue would give a metric conversion unless they had an export market for their machines to France and other parts of Europe which were metric, the UK didn't switch to metric until 1965
