M&M W7 Molder/Planer

All day, every day, added to which changing blades is a snap, the machine is
easy to care for, the motor is usually a Baldor, and a few other similar good
things.

Interesting. The old fellow that passed it on had his relatives grabbing the
larger machines (table saw, etc.) before the auction. I went to look at a
Hegner scroll saw that got marked "Sold" just as I came through the door (I was
the first person in). Another family member decided at the last minute about
it. What was funny was that they left a lot of the parts to make the machines
work. They left the little M&M on a table in a corner. Got it for $100. Had
no idea about it but could tell it was a old, heavy and well made.
Thanks for the info on it. I will find it a place in the new "digs."
My wife and I have been looking for a building to move into for years. Finally
got one on contract and will start moving into it Jan 30. I have tools stored
in 11 places in three towns. Finally, a shop with a home attached! And, a
studio for her. Have a Merry Christmas, guys, and thanks.

If it is then he got one hell of a great deal on it - they go

Are we talking about a Williams and Hussey planer/moulder here?

If so that is a fine machine, or so says I.
