Alien-head Planer [Restoration]
This restoration is on a 1940s 6" power thickness planer made by Central Specialty Co. for Sears' Craftsman brand. It is colloquially known as the "Alien-head" planer due to it's resemblance to the alien from the movie Alien which has an alien in it that looks like an alien that somewhat looks like this planer.This model was most likely produced for hobbyist woodworkers due to it's small size and manual feed operation. It does not have any mechanism to push the wooden boards consistently through the planer so any planing inconsistencies or snipe is 100% your fault.
The unit that I found was in fairly decent condition for it's age and only missing one part. The most difficult part to source are the odd sized bearings for the planer head.
I'll most likely keep this around the shop as something neat to look at as I rarely need to use a power planer these days.
