It's like a powered hand plane

With a quick search, I couldn't find anyone selling it in the US so you must have to go directly through the manufacturer.

Ryobi and Hitachi both used to sell a super surfacing machine, though the blade was on the top.

Mark at Solid Wood Machinery in Ontario deals with these, he does fantastic rebuilds on the Marunaka machines as well as Maka Mortisers.

lumbering_on not sure why you mentioned Logosol moulders they are nothing like a super surfacer and are on the extreme light end of multi-face moulders.

Ryobi, Hitachi, and Makita all built light-duty versions of the super surfacer maybe 35 years ago but they never took off here. You still see them for sale once in a while but I imagine parts would be non-existent.

Wondering what the commercial use would be, and that kinda price screams industry. Very rare/expensive hardwoods where they don't want the waste a commercial planer makes? That is all I can think of. Industry has planers and sanders for less than that, which can do a LOT more work faster than that could, if the demo was it's normal speed.

I think the reason most of us haven't seen one before if they have been made that long, is there isn't a sound market for them.

It's the 'league' they are in - i.e. they're machine that do great work, but are very specific in what they do and are well beyond the budget that anyone would have.

I got ya, it just didn't compute because I see Logosol and their orange cousins as the Grizzly of multisurface planer/moulders lots of hobby sawyers have them.

I realized after reading your reply that I was a bit unclear. I actually looked into Logosol as I was toying with the idea of a sawmill, and when I saw that they sold jointers and planers I took a look. It was a quick look.

I bet the blade is super easy to sharpen as it's probably an indexed single bevel. Might not be but it wouldn't make a whole lotta sense to be otherwise even if it's proprietary. Way to easy to sharpen a single bevel. Yes. I said to. Just out of spite.
