I'll risk someone else swooping in to find this:
Local seller of a 2013 powermatic 15" helical planer. Claims motor is fine but the stands are rusted so I assume the bed is rusted also. A couple helical inserts need replaced.
Is there a risk the helical head is damaged by rust as well? How hard is it to take one of these apart?
For reference I have an old Makita 2030 that I've taken completely apart, cleaned, and reassembled. Wasn't too hard.
Not sure what a fair price would be here, I'm thinking it would have to be down near $1000? Not that my wife is going to approve anyway.
