Never knew Greenlee manufactured machine tools...I always thought of them being the hole punch & small electrical hand tools people.
Gotta love that cutter head, pretty impressive for 1950's manufacturing. Carbide inserts or steel?
I thought you were a Buss straight blade planer guy. ![Poke [poke]](https://www.festoolownersgroup.com/Smileys/default/poke.gif)
They started by making barrel making equipment in MA in the 1880s I believe.
Eventually moved to Rockford, IL.
They made sash equipment, clamps, mortisers, rip saws, Bandsaws, single and double end tenoners, table saws, shapers, rail car equipment, their 545 double end tenoner was the industry standard for decades.
The greenlee logo is a hollow chisel mortiser bit.
This planer is from 1949. The head is retro fit from Newman probably sometime in the early 70s. Brazed carbide that you grind in the head.
I do love my buss planers.
