by Bill NanceIntroduction
The Parks 95 12" planer, as described on other pages within this wiki, is a well-respected vintage planer, manufactured across several decades by Parks Woodworking Machine Company, with a fairly consistent design throughout its history. This page provides an index of parts for a Parks Model 95 planer, including photographs and dimensions where available.
The original entry data and photographs are drawn from a restoration of machine #5401-, which is believed to have been manufactured in the early 1940s. The parts numbers are mapped to the exploded parts diagram and parts list from the
1949 Operating Instructions and Parts List for Parks 12" Thickness Planer found in the OWWM Publication Reprints. Others who wish to edit this entry with additional information should indicate in the comments section below any information that references a different operating manual. Please note that in the original entry, some parts were not included in the machine that was restored, and some parts were not disassembled and either may not be photographed or may be shown as a component of an assembly. Others are encouraged to edit/replace with individual parts as available.
