I started a thread back in 2009 on my Gleason bevel gear planer.
These are a relatively uncommon / rare machine. Mine was originally belt drive and predates 1924 according to Mr John Oder.
I mentioned the spur gear planers that were made by Gleason as shown in a catalog from 1908 on gear planers in another thread. I am curious if anyone has seen or knows of one of these still in existence. My catalog shows machines that will cut bevel gears, machines for both bevel and spur gears, and finally spur gears only. If you have run one to cut a spur gear, I would love to hear that as well.
I myself, have ever seen 2 of the bevel planers. Mine is a 24”. The second one was larger, at least a 48”. It was at an auction in Shreveport Louisiana a number of years ago. It was missing most of the forming templates. I was told that there was another in my area years ago. Whoever owned it would borrow templates from the Company I purchased mine from.
