Check the listing for details. Parks 12" Planer. Condition: Used, Made in United States. Listed at 500.00 USD. Classic American-made wood planer produced by Parks Woodworking Machines from the 1930s through 1989. The heavy-duty 12" cast-iron planer, known among woodworkers as indestructible "beasts" that can handle massive stock and take heavy cuts. They're highly regarded in vintage machinery circles (e.g., on forums like LumberJocks, Reddit's r/woodworking, and VintageMachinery.org) for their durability—many from the 1940s–1950s are still in use after restoration. People often restore them (sandblasting, repainting, new bearings/blades) and praise them over modern lightweight models.
