Here's my post from April 2005 describing some of my machines, which are almost all renovation projects.
My memory is not what it was, and I got some of the details wrong, it's a 6kw alternator.
The Robinson planer was bought to France in about 1992 after our work's carpentry shop closed down in the recession at that time. Funnily enough, I also originally ran it with a small diesel engine till I made an electrical conversion in 2004/5. The main problem was smoke from the stub exhaust and the noise - it was a hand cranked single cylinder job out of a Chinese tractor! Still got it [somewhere].
