A sawmill (Hill Country Works) is going out of business in Burnet, Texas. I am not associated with them but I purchased sets of used Forstner Bits and Router bits at a great price. All of the machinery is 3 phase so I guess only businesses would be interested. They specialize in salvaged antique lumber and have a tremendous amount of sawmill cut lumber that would probably be an interest to anyone with the ability to cut and plane the lumber and the person I talked to was very negotiable. Contact: Lee Westphal @ 512 756-6950. Their website is texaswoodwork.com and they describe their lumber there.
Salvaged Antique Lumber if anyone is interested

3 phase equipment can be used by an individual, just need a 220v circuit and get a variable frequency drive. I just restored a vintage 8" jointer w/3 phase motor. The VFD was about $150, lot cheaper than a new motor.
I may be going thru Burnet next week and if so, will stop and poke around.
Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the heads up. The fellow who crafted our beautiful mesquite mantel might be interested. He's up Lometa way and BIL in Lampasas is a tree dude and might have some contacts. I'll pass the word.Comment

Go to www.factorymation.com and click on 'AC Drives' under products. HP of your motor will determine which model you need. Mine was 1 1/2HP and the FM50 that I got will handle up to 2HP.
If it's an old planer(not sure of their definition of 'old'), check www.owwm.org if you will be doing any restoration work.
