Mad Skilz!

In the surfboard shaping industry no tool is held in higher regard than the Skil 100 electric planer. I finally got the opportunity to pick one up for myself and couldn't pass up the deal. After spending some time giving it a thorough examination, cleaning it up, and making a few minor modifications I'll be ready to put it to good use shaping a twin keel for the summer.

Hard to believe that a tool manufactured from 1930 - 1988 would still have such a significant impact 20 years after they were discontinued by Skil. Not even the Hitachi Clark Modified planer designed specifically for surfboard construction has been able to unseed this champ.
