Buss Woodworking Equipment

Charles Buss, the founder of the Buss Machine Shops, was an early inventor and machinist who opened a machine shop in Marlboro, NH in 1848. Here he made improvements on planers, making the industry's first panel planers for fine woodworking.

In 1878, his company, known as Buss & Sons, moved to Grand Rapids and later to Holland, Michigan where they made vast improvements to wood working machinery — adapting them to the manufacture of furniture, organs, pianos and fine cabinets. Buss Planers were reportedly the first North American woodworking machines to use ball bearings.

The super-heavyweight planers manufactured by Buss Machine Works under various brand names are still a common sight in the woodworking industry and highly sought after on the used machine market place.
