    Restored PM 100 Planer w/Bling

    Will fellow SMC, thought I show off my first attempt at restoring an 80ish planer.I pick this up at an auction,have always wanted something of this quality.I strip down some parts to metal and apply bondo to areas that I had welded.Then apply SW primer to the cabinet parts and to the gears as well.Then sprayed the finish coat.Its not the metallac green, but its close.For some reason I thing that the paint is soft.Maybe over some time it will harden some.I mess up alittle on the strips,but its alittle wide in one area.Installed new blades from Globel Tools, with new bearnings for the cutterhead,new belts and for the bling I used crome acorn nuts on the top and side covers.

    Nicely done. Don't worry about the paint softness. It should get harder with age. I used Rustoleum on a restore 6 months ago and it seemed kinda soft also. Everything bounces off of it now.

    For those interested I saw a $395 Wedge Bed 18" Delta in the Peoria IL craigslist tonight. It needs some minor parts or so the ad says - lists a phone number. I own a 20" Delta 22-451 already and do not need another project. Just thought this planer overhaul group might be interested in that project.

    Beautiful job on this overhaul Carroll!!

    Very nice restore.
    What what brand & color of paint did you use?
    Where did you get the racing stripe?
    I have an old Powermatic 60 jointer that I am getting ready to start on.
