Questions on Rockwell/Invicta 22-650 planer
I'm trying to arrange a "look-see" at an 80's vintage planer of this model that's fairly near to me on Craigslist. I know only a small amount about this model machine, and it seems good for the most part. They came with a 2HP motor, 13" max width cut, and 6" height. Heavy, in the neighborhood of 450lbs I think. Blades are still available, Yes?, no?. Or should I pass on it for a newer 15" with a 3HP motor or of course one of those pricey Shelix -headed planers;)
The size and power seem ok for my needs, some replacment parts seem still available. What max of a price would you guys stop at, esp when there are so many newer planers out there?. Thanks for the replies,:D

Hi there, I have a Rockwell 22-650 Invicta, I understand it was Brazilian made. It has been a good machine, but I had a bushing cease and it twisted of at the sprocket. So I am in search of an outfeed roller, used, new, anything. Not having any luck anywhere.
Any leads from anyone are welcome. Thanks
